Medieval Warrior The Crecy Full-Tang Tempered Hand Forged Real Handmade Sword
Description
The Crecy was one of the most decisive battles of the 100 Years War. After the
battle of Sluys, Edward III landed in Normandy in July 1346 with about 10,000
men. The French pursued. Edward III decided to halt near Crecy in Normandy and
to prepare for battle the next day. However, the French vanguard made contact
and started to attack without the benefit of a plan. The French made as many
as 15 attacks and the English checked each one in turn, primarily thanks to
the English long bowmen. In the end, the French were decimated and the English
had a decisive victory. The Crecy is one type of sword that would have seen
service on both sides during the 100 Years War. Oakeshott describes the Type
XVIa as having a long, tapering blade, broad at the hilt, with a sharp, often
reinforced, point. The Crecy is a fine example of a later period epee de
guerre, or war sword, a refinement of the earlier XIIa in response to changes
in the armor of the period.
