Abstract:

Japanese swords have long been a source of fascination for metallographers both Japanese and Western, but most studies lean toward functional explanations of metallurgical features or description of how features correspond to historical and ethnographic accounts of production. At the same time, there is a long tradition of sword connoisseurship that through its visual and historical perspective offers insight about particular smiths and their traditions. In a metallographic examination of a 15th century Japanese sword of the Bizen tradition, I take a chaîne opératoire approach and draw on aspe

Abstract:

There is an indisputable fact that in Medieval Armenia, as in most countries of the Middle Ages, the sword was a popular (but expensive) type of weapon. However, what did these “swords” look like? The aim of the article is to analyse one internal fresco called “Massacre of the Innocents” from Aghtamar Church (915–921), where a depiction of the sword with the sleeve cross-guard could be found.Comparisons of the known archaeological finds of “Byzantine” type swords from Eastern Europe and Near East have been made, proving the idea that such type of swords actually existed.

Abstract:

Abstract The medieval hero cannot be imagined without a significant sword. Swords often have names and a mysterious identity. Beowulf cannot kill Grendel’s mother with his own sword, but has to resort to some of the ancient weapons lying in her lair. In the Nibelungenlied, Siegfried’s sword gets into the hand of his nemesis, Hagen, after he has murdered him. Siegfried’s widow, Kriemhild, finally takes it from Hagen and decapitates him. This, however, means her own death. In the Old Spanish El Poema de Mio Cid, the protagonist conquers two most valuable swords, and he passes them on to his sons

Abstract:

Finds of early medieval Schlingen-type swords are mostly concentrated in present-day southern Germany, where they are known from a number of graves dating to the end of the late Merovingian period. On the contrary, these swords are completely absent in contexts of the early Carolingian and Great Moravian periods. This paper presents a new find of Schlingen-type sword from Vlčí Pole in the northeastern part of Central Bohemia and its archaeometric analysis. We consider the sword from Vlčí Pole to be the only unambiguous find of a fully preserved long-bladed weapon of the late 7th to 8th century

Among the Early Medieval double-edged swords, excavated in the Carpathian Basin, there are a few which probably have Byzantine origin. The most unique piece of this small but significant group of weapons was unearthed at Kunágota, Southern Hungary.

One bright, sunny day in northern Italy, let us say in Bologna in the year 1275, a group of law students might have sat and listened to this case. A man named Seius slipped into a shed owned by his sworn enemy, Titius. A priest, a wealthy merchant, and a physician, all of them unimpeachable witnesses, saw Seius enter the shed with his sword drawn. A moment later they heard a man cry out. Then they clearly saw Seius, shaken and pallid, emerge through the doorway, bloody sword in hand. When Seius noticed the witnesses coming toward him, he fled.

Abstract:

In Anglo-Saxon and Viking literature swords form part of a hero's identity. In addition to being weapons, they represent a material agent for the individual's actions, a physical expression of identity. In this article we bring together the evidence from literature and archaeology concerning Anglo-Saxon and Viking-age swords and argue that these strands of evidence converge on the construction of mortuary identities and particular personhoods. The placement of the sword in funerary contexts is important. Swords were not just objects; they were worn close to the body, intermingling with the phy

The fifteenth-century fight book author Filippo Vadi wrote that the sword “is a cross and a royal weapon”: this inherent chivalric symbolism associated with the sword has led to a wealth of scholarship on the weapon but seemingly at a cost to research into other forms of weaponry used in medieval and early modern Europe, particularly various typologies of staff weapons. This article presents an analysis of the appearance staff weapons in the heterogeneous fight book genre.

In the collection of the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw, there is an Xa-type sword following Ewart Oake�shott’s classification deriving from the vicinity of Sztum. This sword is decorated on both sides with an ornament: in the form of the letter S within a circle on one side, and an equal-armed cross (cross potent) on the other. Formal features of the sword indicate its production between the mid-11th and 12th centuries, while analogies for its decorations, as well as the region where it was found, also point to the sword being dated to the first half of the 13th century.

From its first steps, the Christian ideology interpreted the Crucifixion first of all as a victory over death. In many medieval canonical and paracanonical stories and pictorial fictions, the cross is presented as the most victorious weapon. Christ thereby destroys hell, slays the dragon, conquers death, overcomes sin, etc. He is followed by various saints armed with cross-spears. All this found its pictorial and especially scriptural expression in Khachkar culture. However, the medieval masters, characterizing the cross as a weapon or symbol of victory in the khachkar inscriptions, avoided ma

Abstract Laughter, tears, and killing were responses to Hussite heresy. Heresy was a fearful phenomenon in the Middle Ages.

But what do these expressions of emotion tell us? The article examines a sermon reflecting vivid fear of aggressive heretics, a chronicle wherein a principle response to the Hussites is laughter, and the outpouring of extravagant emotion in the wake of the murder of a popular priest in Prague.

Abstract:

In England during the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries, the royal courts cast a longer and longer shadow over private and local jurisdictions. By a series of steps embracing much innovation, the custom of the king's court gradually became the common law of England, and the royal courts asserted their supremacy over other jurisdictions in many areas. Foremost among these were disputes over freehold land and cases involving felonies. It has been suggested that the royal innovations’ jurisdictional effects on private courts were “neither intended nor foreseen.” Nonetheless, they redu

Abstract:

For a long time, the military history of the Medieval Armenia was not an object of historical research, which in turn had a negative impact on the studies of the region’s social and political history. It is indisputable that in Armenia, as in most countries during the Middle Ages, the sword was a popular – albeit expensive – weapon. But when did sabres appear in Armenia, and were they popular? Images or archaeological fi nds of sabres from the territory of Armenia date only from the 12th/13th centuries, while in the Byzantine Empire and Abbasid Caliphate the sabre had been known already in the

AbstractThis paper examines the changes T.H. White made to The Sword in the Stone between its first publication in 1938 and subsequent appearance as the first part of the Once and Future King in 1958. These changes are related to the immediate historical context of World War II, and also to the wider context of children's literature dealing with the relationship between the child and the ''natural world''. Rather than seeing White's texts as reflecting a post-Enlightenment idealisation, placing both child and nature beyond the bounds of culture and human limitation, the essay argues that even

Abstract:

Development of the Lithuanian ruler's status and political context has a direct influence on the formation of seals' portrayal as well as on the seal, as insignia itself. Royal insignia expressed the ideology and symbolism of the ruler's power. They played a significant symbolic and sacral role during the coronation ceremony. The oldest royal insignia are the crown, sword, and lance, while the latter lost its significance. Because of the lack of written sources on the coronation and enthronization of Lithuanian kings and grand dukes, seals have enormous advantages over other historical witness

Niemcewicz draws extensively from medieval chronicles, which depict both historical and legendary events, some of which remain shrouded in mystery. In “Śpiewy historyczne”, there are vivid descriptions of medieval feuds, dynastic marriages, and territorial disputes, making Niemcewicz’s works essenti

Abstract: The identification of “peoples” is the oldest purpose that the study of burial rites has been made to serve. Written sources tell us that in late antiquity different peoples migrated into the Roman Empire, both in the Western and in the Eastern half. Cemetery archaeology provides one of the most important sources for early medieval social history. Weapon deposits should not be excluded from this process. The current paper investigates the armament of a soldier’s burial found in a grave attached to the so-called Sintrivani Basilica in Thessaloniki, Greece, dated to the early fifth cen
