The longsword, also known as a hand-and-a-half or bastard sword, was the mainstay weapon carried by Medieval and early Renaissance knights and men-at-arms. It's length of blade made it perfect for use on foot or on horseback, and it's longer grip allowed for use either in one or two hands. This is the weapon of choice for most Western Martial Arts masters - De Liberi, Ringeck, Thalhoffer, etc.
