Medieval sword with Tewkesbury scabbard, 15th century
The Wars of the Roses (1455–1485) were a series of battles for the English crown fought between the noble houses of York and Lancaster. Both houses were branches of the same European ruling dynasty, the Plantagenets, which had ruled England for three centuries. These civil wars (interspersed with brief periods of relative peace) take their name from the roses that both rival families bore on their respective coats of arms: white for the Yorks and red for the Lancasters. After 30 years of political machinations and horrific bloodshed, the family feud eventually led to the fall of the House of Plantagenet and the rise of the House of Tudor.
The Battle of Tewkesbury, which took place on May 4, 1471, was a decisive victory for the House of York. It ended with the death of the young Crown Prince of Lancaster, Edward of Wales, allowing King Edward IV to finally rule unopposed and marking the beginning of England's longest period of political stability in this multigenerational conflict. When Edward IV died in 1483, power struggles for the throne immediately broke out again.
The Tewkesbury sword, named after this historic battle, is a classic example of a late medieval slashing and thrusting longsword. Although this handsome and inexpensive hand-and-a-half sword (also called a bastard sword ) is not an exact replica of a historic original from this great English battle, it does have the typical features of a traditional late medieval longsword and is inspired by the swords that were likely wielded on both sides of the conflict at the time.
The long, double-edged blade is forged from hardened and heat-treated EN45 spring steel. It tapers smoothly toward the tip and is fluted on both sides for about half its length, with a flattened, diamond-shaped cross-section toward the tip. The cutting edges are unsharpened, and the continuous blade tang is bolted to the end of the handle.
The vessel consists of a handle with a wooden core and black leather covering, a flattened steel crossguard, and an elongated, six-faceted capped pommel, also made of steel, with slightly concave side surfaces. A cross is inlaid on one side of the pommel. The guard measures approximately 23 cm long and 0.5 cm thick. Its ends are flared and each is decorated with a cutout cross.
The late medieval hand-and-a-half sword comes with a black wood/leather scabbard with a blued steel mouthpiece and bezel.
This sword is designed as a collector's item or decorative object and is also ideal as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
