If anyone has a list made up already please send me a copy  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  ). I'm having a little trouble figuring out which swords I want to include in the list. I've found three main ones so far: the arming sword (which includes any one-handed sword about 3 feet long), the longsword (any hand-and-a-half sword about 4-5 feet long), and the falchion (any machete-like blade). I think the estoc/tuck (long "ice pick" weapons) also existed but they may be Renaissance weapons. Were there any other swords available in the late middle ages?I'm also having trouble figuring out how middle age swords were used. Were arming swords still thrusting weapons, like the ones used by the romans and greeks? Were longswords cutting weapons with blunt tips, or where they pointed armour-piercing weapons that weren't designed for cutting, or did both types exist? Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.</blockquote>
