German Mercenary Medieval Sword1301 The Mercenary
German Sword- Early sixteenth Century
Original found in the Austrian Museum


Commonly used by the Northern countries between the late 15th and early 16th Century, this short sword was widely cherished among men-at-arms and mercenaries. The crisp two-inch wide deep fullered blade, compounded by its impressive weight, rendered this piece an exceptional tool capable of shredding through opponent’s pole-arms. Beautifully crafted guards were common among such swords, reflecting individual styles and taste.

Dark Age Medieval sword1302 Dark Age Sword
Tower of London Collection, England

The Dark Ages, specifically, refers to a time (476–800) when there was an absence of a Roman emperor in the West; or, more generally, to the period between about 500 and 1000, which was marked by frequent warfare and a virtual disappearance of urban life. The Dark Ages, also known as the Early Medieval Period, began by the deposition of the last western Roman Emperor by a Germanic leader in 476 A.D. The period is marked by the "Germanization" of the Roman armies and a massive wave of attacks on the Roman Empire commonly referred to as the "German Invasions".

The Legionnaire Sword

Battle Ready Medieval Swords1341 13th C. Medieval Sword
Tower of London Collection, England

The Thirteen century, also known as the period of the High middle ages, witnessed considerable warfare and strife. During the early part of the 13th century, the western world witnessed the rise of the Fourth crusade and the sacking of Constantinople (1204 A.D.), the capital of the Byzantine Empire.  The invasion, often described as the most disgraceful attack in medieval history, destroyed the Christian (eastern Orthodox) rule, effectively set Latin rule on the empire.

The Thirteenth Century sword, found at the Tower of London, displays the general artistic trends of the period. During the early part of the Thirteenth’s century few examples of similar guards were believed to be in existence. By 1250 however, the trend prevailed and became common. Whereas one example is on display in Norman, at the Maidstone Museum, this version was reproduced from an example found in the Tower of London’s Wallace collection.

Combat Ready Squire Medieval Sword1304 The Medieval Squire Sword
English Sword
13th Century (not historically based)


The English word squire comes from the Old French escuier (modern French écuyer), itself derived from the Late Latin scutarius ("shield bearer"). The Classical Latin equivalent was armiger, 'arms bearer'. A squire was originally a young man who aspired to the rank of knighthood and who, as part of his development to that end, served an existing knight as his attendant or shield carrier (hence the name). However, during the middle ages the rank of esquire came to be recognized in its own right and, once knighthood ceased to be conferred by any but the monarch, it was no longer to be assumed that any a squire would in due course progress to be a knight. The connection between a squire and any particular knight also ceased to exist, as did any shield carrying duties.

The Medieval Squire Sword is made of 1060 high Carbon steel and Tempered to a Rockwell of 53. The handle is covered in blue leather and wired wrapped. The sword comes with a matching blue Scabbard.

"The Black Knight" Medieval Sword is Inspired by E.A. Christensen's sketch work, found on p. 121 of  Oakeshott's "Record of the Medieval Sword".
