About: Faussart

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Faussart is a long-bladed, two-handed weapon, sometimes referred to as a warbrand (by modern reproduction manufacturers). It is essentially an elongated arming sword or the later period messer, possibly a descendant of the longsword. Though scant when it comes to both literary and iconographic references, the Faussart was possibly used by both cavalry and infantry. It is usually illustrated wielded by cavalry, usually of the knightly class, indicating it as a high-end weapon in contemporary sources.

dbo:abstract
  • Das Warbrand, auch Faussart, Faussar oder Two-handed glaive (zweihändige Glefe), ist eine europäische, hochmittelalterliche Waffe und stellt eine Art Mischform aus Schwert und Stangenwaffe dar. (de)
  • El Faussar era una espada -o tipo de espadas- altomedieval a dos manos que se asemejaba mucho a un cuchillo o muy largo y que no tenía guardas ni gavilanes.
