In past centuries, the sword was equivalent to power. No ruler could expect to remain in power without a retinue of men armed with swords to enforce his influence. When a man carried a sword, that sword designated the wearer as a dominant member of society. Swords were more valuable than we can imagine today, and were so prized that their owners often gave them names to signify the power inherent in them. They were meant to be seen and were used for protection, in battle, and in medieval duels to the death. Purchase your own piece of history with one of our medieval swords. Perhaps some power will rub off onto you! A sword fundamentally consists of a blade and a hilt, typically with one or two edges for striking and cutting, and a point for thrusting. The basic intent and physics of swordsmanship has remained fairly constant down the centuries, but the actual techniques varied among cultures and periods as a result of the differences in blade design and purpose. The names given to many swords in mythology, literature, and history reflect the high prestige of the weapon. |
