Seminar: The Flashing Blade

Handle a variety of European swords and daggers specially chosen from the Royal Armouries collection


Speakers: Robert Woosnam-Savage – Curator of European Edged Weapons, Royal Armouries & Henry Yallop – Assistant Curator of European Edged Weapons, Royal Armouries

Handle a variety of European swords and daggers specially chosen from the Royal Armouries collection, including a number of recent acquisitions, illustrating the development of the sword and dagger over 3000 years.

See how sword smiths resolved the dilemma between weapons designed to cut or to thrust, or both.

Get to grips with important and unique weapons from the Bronze Age and the Middle Ages, basket-hilts, small-swords and even swords from the movies.
