Danish Two Handed Sword
Type XVIIIe, Medieval Sword
Fifteenth Century (1410-1500)

The History Of Denmark Is Filled With Tumultuous Periods Of War And Strife, Conflicts Driven By The Same Political And Religious Factors That Were Widespread Throughout Medieval And Post-Medieval Europe. Smaller Kingdoms Were Swallowed Up By Larger, And Larger Kingdoms sSplintered aApart. The Two-Handed Danish Sword Is Based On The Weapons Of This Region, Specifically On The Oakeshott Type XVIIIe. This Distinctive, Powerful Thrusting Sword Has Been One Of My Most Sought-After Designs.

The Early History Of Denmark, As Part Of The Nordic Region, Is Dominated By tThe Viking Age Known As The Carolingian-era. The Early Danes – Or Those Who Would Become The Early Danes – Inhabited Denmark From The Late 5th/Early 6th Century And Onward. Epic Poems (Including Beowulf, One Of The Most Well-Known Old English Documents In History) Make Reference To The Danes As Fierce Warriors. And Not Without Reason; At The Onset Of The 9th Century The Danes – Like Others In The Norse Lands – Participated In The Exploration, Settlement, And Enthusiastic Plunder The Vikings Were So well Known For.
Danish Vikings Raided, Traded, And Conquered Their Way Across Europe, Establishing Settlements In England, France, Ireland, And Across The Netherlands. Their Shipbuilding And Navigation Skills Were So Great That They Settled As Far Away As Greenland, And Even Made Contact With The Americas. The Danish Lands Existed Over A Wide Area Of Western And Northern Europe In One Form Or Another For centuries. As The Middle Ages Progressed The Kingdom Of Denmark Went Through Multiple Changes in Borders And Leadership Due To Pressures And Turmoil Inside And Out. War Was Not Just A Common Feature Of Denmark’s History, It Was A Way Of Life – And Other Nations Did Not Enter Into Battle With Them Lightly. 

Due To This Fairly Colorful History, The Danes Became Known For Some Distinctive Weaponry, Of Which This Danish Two-Handed Battle Ready Sword Is An Example. This Medieval Sword Is Classified As An Oakeshott Type XVIIIe, A Very Unusual Member Of The Type XVIII Group. While It Is Believed That Some Examples Of This Group May Be German Or Italian In Origin, The Vast Majority Of Type XVIIIe Medieval Swords Have Been Found Almost Exclusively In Denmark.
