Oakshott biold up his typology on medieval swords based on the existing typology on viking age swords made by Jan Petersen. The oakshott type 10 (Petersen types went up to type 9) basically is the transition from the viking age sword to the high medieval type. Btw... A type x blade is still nimble enough to fence with.

Spending my early adulthood on horseback as much as possible, I was often asked why we were suppose to mount horses from the left all the time. I had heard people say that it was because the horse didn't like people mounting from the right, or the horse would bolt, or kick if you tried to mount from the right, and of course all of that was untrue as horses didn't give a "horses pa-toot" as to which side you mounted from. The reason we made a tradition of mounting our horses from the left was simply because of these swords you tell us about today. It was so much easier to mount from the left, then it would have been to throw that huge sword over the horses back or tangle you leg into the sword as it failed to go across the saddle as you tried to swing your right leg over. So I have done my part in dispelling a myth about horses and swords. I still wonder how many horses of this era went around with only one ear though. But thats for another video. Thanks Mike.

As armor got heavier and more covering, swords either became longer and heavier with less of an edge. Or you used a mace, axe, or hammer. Yes I too collect swords and study medieval history. Oh and your standard spear-men/levy could make his own armor. Often made from Leather, which was easy to come by. And I'm not talking garment weight leather. I am talking armor grade, at least 1/4 of an inch thick. I work with that stuff all the time. Making bracers, I am in the process of making a reinforced leather gamberson, using brass plates. Something else the average person would have had access too.

After the end of the video links will appear to other Path of Fire blacksmithing videos, or you can type The Path of Fire in KZitem's search line. Regardless if you like swords or not, I'm sure you will find these blacksmithing videos to be eye opening.
