Before you begin shopping around for a
medieval sword or weapon, it is best to learn all about them
from medieval weapons books.
Not only can you learn about different sword styles from
medieval books, but you can also learn what they were made out
of back in the Middle Ages and what the most common metals are
now. You can also learn about the differences between
spring steel and stainless steel and why one is better than the
other. Most medieval weapons books can tell you the back
story behind a particular sword. For example, most people
only know part of the whole story of Excalibur and how Arthur
became king. You can find a wealth of information in
books.
Some medieval weapons books will even show you the evolution of
a particular design of hilt. For example, you can see the
progression towards the rapier swept hilt style from a simpler,
cleaner style of barbarian sword. You will also see a
transition from copper and bronze blades to stronger and more
durable steel blades. Some books will teach you the entire
forging process from start to finish so you can truly appreciate
the time and effort that went into making a single sword for
combat.
Don't forget about the larger medieval weapons books. You
can find tons of fascinating information on ancient medieval
siege weapons and war machines. Most history books tend to
leave out all of the juicy details when it comes to describing
exactly what these massive weapons could and did do to castle
ramparts. All in all you can find amazing details and
historical facts about a particular sword or medieval weapon in
books about the Middle Ages and its weaponry.
