The Normans (also called Northmen or Norsemen) were the decendents of the Scandinavian Vikings who raided the European coastal settlements during the 8th century. Despite their eventual conversion to Christianity and their adoption of Frankish cavalry warfare during the 10th C, the Normans retained many of the traits of their Germanic ancestors. The Norman Sword, although used throughout the Medieval era, is historically bound to the Normans because of its frequent appearance in the Bayeux Tapestry: embroidery that depicts the Norman Conquest. The classical Medieval dagger, classified as type XI by Oakeshott's typology, is fitted with the traditional wheel pommel and straight guard. Total length: 17.5". Blade : 12". Weight: 1 lb 2 oz. Made by Darksword Armory.
