For EVERYONE Who Is Interested In Viking Age And Medieval Swords THEY MUST SEE Peter Johnsson's ''THE VIKING SWORD WHAT IT WAS AND WAS NOT'' This video should go VIRAL !!! But Read The Newest Comments First To Really Understand Peter Johnsson's Knowledge Of These Subjects.

His perfectly good information is somehow less credible due to use of a visual aid that you do not aprrove of? Christ, I thought music gatekeepers were pretentious.
It's a spatha. Franks made and traded good swords, there isn't really such a thing as a viking sword, there are swords which vikings used. For my part the finest sword I have ever seen has to be from the Sutton Hoo burial. Oh yeah we could just as well call it a Celtic sword because the Spatha was something the Romans adopted from the Gauls.
@@inregionecaecorum it's a sword, a sverd, a spatha, a Jian, depends what language was being spoken at the time and place. Only a spatha in Latin. All the nomenclature added since... Carolingian, migration era, viking, whatever... Is all historians in recent history categorizing it.
Beautiful swords.
