By the beginning of the eleventh century, a new style of sword was making its appearance in Western Europe. With a Brazil nut shaped pommel, a long straight guard and a long tapering double-edged blade, the first clearly recognisable medieval sword form had made its debut. The Viking name for this sword type was gaddhjalt-spikehilt. By 1066, examples of this style were associated with Norman material culture in England, marking an important stage in the development of the medieval knightly sword. Saxons and Vikings of the period used similar sword types. This museum-quality piece is presented as a collectible item for historical display.
