Long Sword
The long sword, or broadsword, was the most common weapon on the battlefield in the midto-late Middle Ages, up until the inclusion of artillery and the arquebus. The long sword is perhaps the most basic of swords: a single-handed, double-edged blade approximately three feet in length. This sword could be used to slash or chop (design elements left over from early sword-making), but the point allowed for wielders to thrust with it, as well. Thrusting allowed a warrior to make his attacks more effective against armor that could absorb slashing or hacking blows.
