	Broadswords
		But this merely implies the adjective "broad" as in the phrase "a sword that is broad" and cannot be mistaken as an equivalent appellation of "broadsword".
		Of course, a reference to a "broad" bladed sword does not mean "broadsword", since virtually all swords at the time this was written were in fact "broad" (in comparison to what else we must ask?).
		Considering the great variety of sword forms in the Middle Ages (not to mention numerous cutting blades of the Renaissance), many of which are quite slender with acutely pointed tips, it is wrong for the sake of convenience or habit to just refer to them as "broadswords".
