Arming Sword AKA Knightly Sword, Medieval Weapon

The Arming sword (Knightly sword) was the most widespread type of sword in the European High Middle Ages. It was a straight, double-edged weapon with a single-handed cruciform hilt and a blade length of about 28 to 31 inches. The type is frequently depicted in period artwork, and numerous examples have been preserved archeologically. The high medieval sword of the Romanesque period (10th-13th centuries) develops gradually from the Carolingian sword (spatha) of the 9th century. In the Late Medieval period (14th and 15th centuries), late forms of these swords continued to be used, but often as a sidearm, especially of the estoc type, now called "arming sword" and contrasting with the two-handed, heavier longsword.
