Medieval broadsword

The broadsword sword was the standard military sword of the medieval knight. Typically used with a shield or buckler, however there are many texts and pictures depicting effective broadsword combat without the benefit of a shield. According to Medieval texts, in the absence of a shield the empty (normally left) hand could be used for grabbing or grappling opponents. The arming sword was overall a light, versatile weapon capable of both cut and thrust combat, and normally boasted excellent balance.After the longsword came to predominate, the arming sword was retained as a common sidearm but came to be referred to as a shortsword.
