MEDIEVAL


 

The swords of medieval times between 500 to 1500 AD approximataely evolved from steel Celtic swords arising from a tradition of straight, double-edged swords. During the Middle Ages, the swords had blades just under a yard in length and the grip was designed for a single hand; the other hand left free to hold the shield.
axeThe unique Battle Axes, or War Axes were one of the most commonly used and popular weapons for battle during the Middle Ages. The Medieval battle axes had highly sharpened blades that could easily pierce armour and shred chain mail worn by the opposing knights. The battle axe was designed to be light-weight and thus was an extremely suited weapon for one-handed battle both on the ground and on horseback.
shieldMedieval shields are considered as an extension of the knight's armor and they were the perfect part of a suit of armor for self-defense.
The medieval daggers stand testimony to the Middle Ages when encounters with any stranger often led to bloodshed.
helmetThe medieval helmets were of leather reinforced with bronze or iron straps and usually took the form of conical or hemispherical skullcaps. With the increasing amount of metal used in their making, the helmets were fashioned of iron and gradually the helm, or heaume, emerged.
