The Longsword is a type of European
sword used during the
late medieval and
Renaissance periods, approximately 1350 to 1550 (with early and late use reaching into the 13th and 17th centuries, respectively). Longswords have lengthy
cruciform hilts with grips over some 15 cm in length (providing room for two hands), straight double-edged blades often over 90 cm in length, and weigh typically between 1200 and 1400 g, with light specimens just below 1 kg, and heavy specimens just above 2 kg.
