14th C. Two Handed Sword
1300
– 1350 AD
Museum of London,
Original found in the River Thames in London.
The cross on the pommel confirms it as a Templar Knight’s
sword. The history of the Templars seems to indicate
that the sword was thrown into the river when
the Order of the Temple was dissolved by Edward
II in 1314 . At the time, many Templars were executed
or imprisoned, and in 1314 the Order's last grand
master, Jacques de Molay, was burned at the stake.
The embellishing of the pommel, with its decorative
cross, was common among the Templars, giving clear
indication as to the origins of the sword.
This fourteenth century sword is forged from 1060
High Carbon steel. The blade is satin polished
and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 53,
while the
hilt is fitted with an Iron pommel and cross guard.
The handle is made of wood, wrapped with black
leather.

Italian Rapier
-Italian 16th C.
As armor was gradually discarded,
and greater skill was developed in the use of the
sword, the hilt was made to protect the hand by
various combinations of curves and connecting bars.
This hand forged swept hilt rapier style was
very popular among the nobility during the late 16th
and early 17th Centuries. During the Renaissance
period, the rapier came to indicate its
bearer's social status. Armed men were stopped at
the gates of London and their swords were measured,
if their blade was considered to be too long for
their status, their swords were shortned on the
spot, to be certain the men adhered to the English
sumptuary laws.

1336 Two Handed Norman Sword
The Normans (also called Northmen or Norsemen) were
the descendants of the Scandinavian Vikings who
raided the European coastal settlements at the
outset of the 8th century. Despite the Norman's
conversion to Christianity and their adoption of
Frankish way of life, the Normans retained many of
the traits of their Germanic ancestors.
This sword is historically tied to the Normans
because of its frequent appearance in the Bayeux
Tapestry: an embroidery that depicts the Norman
Conquest. The Norman, classified as type XI by
Oakeshott's typology, is fitted with a wheel pommel
and straight guard.

Archer's Sword
Tower of London Collection,
England
English Archers were some of the deadliest
warriors of the Middle Ages, and their fearsome
weapon – the English longbow – was a marvel of
engineering. It enabled the English armies to
strike devastating blows at great range at very
little risk to themselves. Used with great
effectiveness since the early 12th century, the
longbow helped establish English dominance in many
battles that followed. However, as they were
only truly effective at a distance, if the archers
were attacked they would need a close range weapon
to defend themselves with. This weapon would later
be referred to as an Archer’s Sword.

The Mercenary - MEdieval Sword
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 medieval
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.

The Black Prince
The English Prince Edward of Woodstock, Prince of
Wales, lived from June 15, 1330 to June 8, 1376.
He is a well known historical figure; well known
for his chivalrous (and occasionally
non-chivalrous) actions, and for never being
crowned king despite being the eldest son of King
Edward III – he died before his father, and the
crown passed to his son Richard instead. Edward
would also later come to be known by a nickname of
indeterminate origin – “The Black Prince,” a name
well known to scholars in the fields of art,
history, literature and theater.

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".

11th C. Viking Sword-
original sword found in The National Museum of
Finland,
Helsinki
Viking swords, like the Vikings themselves, have
reputations for being brutal and utilitarian
devices, simplistic hacking weapons with little in
the way of grace or beauty. This view has been
perpetuated pop culture. For those who study
Viking history and culture, though, they know that
is simply not the case. Many Viking weapons that
have remained for us to examine were not only
functional but beautifully decorated. One such
example is this sword, based on a find in Finland
that dates back to the 11th Century.

The
Carpathean
The
Carpathians, a fictional race of people, said to be
the ancestors of Vampires, survive by drinking the
blood of humans. Unlike Vampires however, they do
not kill their human prey. Carpathians use their
telepathic abilities to lure humans in order to
feed. They then use those same abilities to erase
the human’s memory of the incident. All vampires
were once Carpathians. Carpathians became Vampires
after killing a human while feeding, or after losing
his “lifemate”.

The Legionnaire
Legionary sword
The Roman Legion was the defining
fighting force in Europe during the
rule of the Roman empire. Their
extremely effective tactics influenced
warfare for centuries
afterwards, and their strength in arms allowed
the Roman Empire to expand to
become one of the biggest domains in history. In modern times,
their abilities and distinctive weaponry are popularized by movies such
as Gladiator. One of their most recognizable weapons is the
short thrusting sword know as the gladius. The gladius was used with
brutal effectiveness against the lightly armoured or unarmored enemies
that would encounter the Legion, and though primarily designed as a
thrusting weapon was capable of delivering savage cuts as well. Sword Specifications
Total length: 34""
Blade length: 26"
Blade width at base: 2.8"

Early Migration Sword
From approximately 250AD until 700AD,
Europe experienced a transitional phase commonly known as the Migration Era.
During this time many people groups wandered from place to place before
finally settling down roots as the Early Middle Ages began. German and
Slavic tribes clashed with Viking
invaders
for many years before beginning to create kingdoms and empires that would
define the shape of Europe and course of its history for centuries to come.
Many different waves of "barbarian" invaders made their mark on the area at
this time as Europe began to solidify into the Middle Ages. The evolution of
the sword underwent some drastic leaps forward during this period.

historical form, the black knight sword is one of
the perfectly balanced swords of the medieval era.
