Sword (disambiguation) |
Swords are bladed weapons. They were probably the most iconic weapons of the middle ages. They were used most often by knights and could deliver fatal blows. The sharp part is the blade and the handle is the hilt. However due to the costs and skills required to make a sword, they were only used by those with wealth and rarely if ever by a commoner.
Description[]

Types[]
There are many different types and variations of swords across the vast medieval period. Unfortunately most of their names are either lost or currently unclear to which kind of sword described, leaving the identification of sword types in the hands of modern terms. Currently three will be listed here but more will be added later with better classification. Swords are generally identified by either their hilt or their blades with the use of the Oakeshott typology.
