European Swords

Europe has a long history forged by war and conflict, and those many wars were fought with an enormous variety of swords, from the world-conquering Roman gladius and its contemporary, the Celt-Iberian falcata, to the single-handed arming swords of the medieval Continent, the heavy broadswords and falchions of the Crusades, the rapiers and side swords of the Renaissance period, the Golden Age of Piracy's cutlasses and hangers, to the ceremonial carrying blades of the 18th century. Also herein are the famed Scottish claidheamh mòr (both the two-handed claymore and the later, single-handed basket-hilted claymore) and a number of fantasy-styled swords that are nonetheless European in design and influence.
