Long-sword - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There seems to have been some confusion as to the difference between what was considered a long-sword (modern and historical term) and what was considered a bastard-sword (historical term). In the high middle ages a great variety of different types of swords were developed; the shape of these blades developed as the answer to increasing armour protection coming into use in Europe, after the mid 13th century. After hand and a half swords appeared on the scene in the high middle ages, they were of a comparable size, and were used in a similar fashion to what were called "war swords". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Long-sword

Side-sword - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A side-sword was a type of war sword used by infantry during the Renaissance of Europe. This sword design eventually lead to the development of the civilian rapier, but it was not replaced by it. This sword was a direct descendant of the knight's sword or more appropriately long-sword. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Side-sword

Knight2Day - SideSword Renaissance side swords were their own distinct sword types, although they are sometimes considered to be a "transitional" form, as they are both the ancestor and contemporary of the rapier. The Side Sword, or Renaissance military sword, is generally characterized by a compound or swept-hilt, a relatively narrow blade with a stronger cross section, and a tapering tip. The side sword is more of a cutting sword, as opposed to a rapier which emphasizes the thrust over the cut. www.knight2day.com /sidesword.html

Journal of Western Martial Art The schools of use for these relatively light, single-handed weapons, the Spanish espada ropera (or "dress sword"), and the Italian spada di lato ("side-sword," in the sense of a "sidearm"), were not very much changed from the earlier, more military styles. Sword and dagger was still commonly taught in places such as Naples and Sicily, and, in 1888, a team of women fencers from Vienna put on a demonstration of "Neopolitan" in New York City. Likewise, two-handed sword fighting survived in the French and Italian forms of grand canne, and even as late as the 1930s, an attempt was made to revive the old school of German longsword as part of Adolph Hitler's volkskultur movement. ejmas.com /jwma/articles/2001/jwmaart_mondschein2_0201.htm

Sword Forum International - Back-Sword Side-Sword?? I think the main emphasis is that a side sword is still heavy enough to be used as a secondary weapon in the field of battle against light to medium armour (a sidearm if you will, in case the primary weapon breaks or is lost). Side sword is a cut and thrust civilian sword (again, I think). By the time of Culloden swords were a highly personalized affair as long as a person wasn't in a formal military, but even then if a person could afford a personal sword that was suited to his job description there seems to have been considerable leeway for people to do so in many militaries. forums.swordforum.com /showthread.php?threadid=4519

Western Sword Fern Sword ferns are very tough, and can survive occasional dry periods, but do well only with consistent moisture, light sunlight, and prefer cool weather to overly warm. My experience with it here is that it prefers more sun than the sword fern as long as the water is sufficient. Sword Fern responds well to regular, light applications of fertilizer. www.woodslore.org /swordfern.htm

Sword Forms The term "cut and thrust sword" is a general one which can be applied to a whole range of blade forms (field swords, side swords, arming swords). A direct descendant of the medieval knightly sword, the cut and thrust sword was used by lightly armed footmen as well as civilians in the 16th and 17th centuries. With the ascendancy of rapiers over swords in personal duel and private quarrel, there were many attempts to combine the slashing and cleaving potential of a traditional military sword with the quick, agile thrust of a dueling rapier. www.thearma.org /terms4.htm

The Ultimate Knight's sword - American History Information Guide and Reference This sword is thought to have directly lead to the development of the side-sword of the Renaissance. Typically used with a shield or buckler they were the standard military sword of the knight (merely called a war sword) until technological changes led to the rise of the long sword or bastard-sword during the 14th century (while examples exist before this, they became dominant in a knight's training syllabus around this time). After these longer swords came into use, an arming sword would be kept as a backup, for use when the longer swords were not available. www.historymania.com /american_history/Arming_sword

Fencing - Cunnan The SCA has a number of fencing groups, that mainly teach the heavier, more realistic fighting styles of rapier and side sword (as opposed to the sport-like modern forms of fencing generally using epee and foil). The rules allow the tip and the side of the weapon to be used for thrusts, side cuts (drawing the blade along a part of the opponent's body) and tip cuts. Fencing, otherwise known as the Art of Defence, is a form of sword -fighting that became popular in late period. www.sca.org.au /cunnan/wiki/Fencing

Renaissance Swords Originating in Spain in the 16th century, this sword was made popular due to the development of a new sword fighting style (fencing) and the deadly social fad of "dueling". This sword is generally characterized by a compound-hilt (or swept), a narrow cut-and-thrust blade with a stronger cross-section, and tapered tip. Swords were no longer a dominant battlefield weapon as they had been once before. www.realarmorofgod.com /renaissance-swords-info.html

Chinese Fairy Tales and Myths On the appointed day, she seated herself in the temple, the dog at her side, sword clutched in her hand. On one side are traditional Confucian philosophers, who reinforce through their tales, the view of a divinely-endowed Emperor at the center, surrounded by humans in a strict hierarchy that is birthright-based.

The Myth of Edge-On-Edge Parrying in Medieval Swordplay Teaching use of a light tapering short sword, Di Antonio Manciolino in 1531 advised parries be accomplished as quick counterattacks that should be done only with “the half of the sword toward the hilt” (the forte of the blade) and using the falso filo (the false or back edge). With Medieval and Renaissance cutting swords this was primarily achieved not by receiving it so that it impacts your own weapon (especially on its edge), but by hitting or beating at the oncoming weapon to knock it off line and away. Rules and Regulations for the Sword Exercise of the Cavalry, we have a clear examples of a later method that used the flat and not the edge to parry with: “The utmost attention must be paid not to oppose the edge to the enemy’s sabre when it can be avoided.” (p. www.thehaca.com /essays/edgemyth.htm
