In medieval times, there was a vast amount of different weapons for soldiers to use. One of the most common weapons was the broadsword, which I have made a model of. There are several different types of broadsword, including the basket-hilted sword, which has a basket-shaped guard that protects the user's hand. Another type of sword in the Middle Ages was the rapier. In contrast to the broadsword, which has a thick, wide blade, the rapier has a very slim blade and was often used as a dueling sword.
Another type of weapon was a battle axe, which was also rather common back then. The axes, though believed to be heavy, were actually rather light, weighing around 5 or 6 pounds at the most. Two of the most popular types of axes were the Danish axe and the sparth axe. They were around 1.5 meters long, and were specifically designed for combat.
The project isn't as challenging as it was before. The information is becoming much easier to condense into one paragraph, and is becoming much more clear. I think everything I have learned about the medieval time period so far is very interesting.
