Description
The straight two-edged knightly sword of the European middle ages is a subject of intense fascination. This study, spanning over 40 years of research, explores its origins, development and use from the great migrations to the Renaissance. Over 400 photographs and drawings are included, each fully annotated and described in detail, supported by an introductory chapter with diagrams of the typological framework. The book also features appendices on inlaid blade inscriptions, scientific dating, the swordsmith's art, and a sword of Edward III. Reprinted as part of Boydell's History of the Sword series, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the straight two-edged knightly sword of the European middle ages.
