The arming sword (also sometimes called a knight’s or knightly sword) is a type of European sword with a single-handed cruciform hilt and straight double-edged blade of around 69 to 81 centimetres (27 to 32 in) in common use from the 11th to 16th centuries. It is a common weapon in period artwork and there are many surviving examples in museums.
