It was mainly used during the [[medieval]] and [[renaissance]] periods, about 1350 to 1550 [[AD]]. Early and late use is known in the 13th and 17th centuries. The longsword has a long blade, but also a long grip, which means it is a weapon designed for two-handed use. {{-}} {{military-stub}} [[Category:Swords]]
