The typical Medieval Sword (Oakeshott types The length of the blade varies between 70 and 85 cm, and it is already equipped with a point capable of piercing almost all the armor of the time, except perhaps riveted chain mail.
The balance point is closer to the guard, making its handling easier and more fluid, despite the fact that its mass increases until it reaches a weight of between 900 grams and 1.3 Kg. The handles are still short and can accommodate only one hand, and therefore these weapons are also almost always used (even in the case of cavalry) accompanied by a shield. It is still an enormously powerful sword, as demonstrated by various engravings and tapestries from the time in which battles and the effectiveness of these weapons are depicted. Mass graves belonging to medieval battles have also been found in which the skeletons clearly showed the type of horrible wounds that these weapons could inflict.
