This is Joyeuse, the sword of Charlemagne. You will notive that we have it in Paris and it is not in Berlin, that is because Charlemagne was French.
>>222068245all original parts, no mods or cuts
>>222068318If he was french then how come he didnt speak french?
>A bronze sword made more than 3,000 years ago that is so well-preserved it “almost still shines” has been unearthed in Germany, officials say.>Bavaria’s state office for the preservation of historical monuments says the sword, which is believed to date back to the end of the 14th century B.C. — the middle of the Bronze Age — was found during excavations last week in Noerdlingen, between Nuremberg and Stuttgart in southern Germany.
>>222068386Nobody spoke French back then. Most of the country spoke Gaulish still at this point, he and his warriors spoke Frankish, and the city-dwelling elites and clerics spoke Latin.By the end, he adopted Latin as his ruling language, and eventually Latin was chosen as the one to make it out of the great three languages of Europe, because it is the most beautiful, clearest, most understandable and most noble one.He is actually one of the main reasons that we speak French. Under a less enlightened monarch we might speak a Germanic language and under a less competent one Celtic languages might have resurfaced, but he chose Latin to become the lingua franca.
>>222068614So he threw away your heritage so you could trade with Catholics. What a kikel.
>>222068157KekI think most people would associate Germany either with the Bauernwehr or the Zweihänder. The Bauernwehr (peasants arm) was a relatively short but broad blade that could function as a tool and a weapon - examples range from either specialisation - that were often worn by peasants as their allowed weapon. But regardless of shape all Bauernwehre were easy to carry and intended to be worn daily.>>222068318>The Louvre's official website dates the pommel from the 10th to 11th centuries, the crossguard to the 12th and the scabbard to the 13th century.
>>222068614nope, the population of Gaul spoke Romanic vernacular by that time already. They had been under Roman rule for over half a millennium by that point.
>>222068614The precursor to french was already spoken by the populace in france.Charlmagne promoted and spoke latin not gallo-roman or vulgar latin which was spoken by most of the population and would evolve into french. He was germanic trough and trough.France didnt exist at the time.
>>222068720We are the Catholics, it is our heritage now. Everyone before us in the line of succession is dead so it is our heritage now.>>222068747>>222068776But that is wrong, only cities used vulgar Latin as a sort of lingua franca before the Franks. The vast majority of the country spoke a Celtic language. Franks had to make a choice between keeping their language (they were too few), choosing Celtic (it was often derided as pagan) or choosing Latin (they were supported by the church and economic elites and chose this one). Gaul actually kept speaking Gaulish for centuries after the Roman Empire fell, as surprising as it is, it's the Franks who imposed Latin on Gaul.
>>222068614And the just a few centuries later, you frogs buck broke Angleterre and what I’m posting is the result of French meddling
Pic rel are some Zweihänder; I made this pic in the Imperial Castle in Nürnberg. But historically they would have been known as Schlachtschwert (battle sword). Anyways they weren't that common to begin with and their role was primarily defensive and representative.
>>222068715LOL
>>222068842And how does that make him french? The concept of french people france or the french language didnt exist at the time he wouldve spoken frankish a germanic language as his main tongue and identified as a frank a germanic tribe.
>>222069026Because he was proto-French. Much more in line with a Western European Catholic restoration of the Roman Empire, than any sort of Germano-Slavic tribal isolationism.
>>222068732kriegsmesser desu
>>222069182>proto-FrenchYou just made that up>Western European Catholic restoration of the Roman Empire, than any sort of Germano-Slavic tribal isolationism.And that still doesnt and wouldnt make him french
>>222069255Yeah but imo this is overmemed nowadays.
>>222069182weird way of writing germanic as fuck. look up all his ancestors and tell me with a serious face they had latin namesno, karel is not a french name you drooling retard
>>222069306Spiritually Franco-precursor
*chops off a horse's head with one swing*Heh...nothin' personnel, kid.
>>222069404not a sword btw :^)
>>222069417Let's break up Belgium in two already
>>222068318How did the fencing wimps get away with turning the epee into a one inch band?If you showed them this they'd call it a sabreActuallySabres were thinner than thisWhat is going on with fencetards?
>>222068318that's not Charlemagne's sword. pretending this was actually worn by him would be like putting some gold on a FAMAS and calling it Henry IV's arquebus. similar difference in time of manufacture.
>>222069468Afaik armor developed so much that slashing became useless, so thrusting ended up the preferred method of attack, hence the rapier dominance
>>222069452t. Herr Messerschmitt
>>222069468that's an arming sword, looks ~12th-14th century by design. apparently it first showed up in the late 12pps.
>>222068865Twohanders were definitely used in war howeverthough.
>>222069430Whatever helps you cope
>>222069404Sure, maybe, but that grip with that length and weight is just phenomenal. This is a zero training required blade.
>>222069512The people who wrote the Arthurian myth and the song of Roland said it's his sword. It also contains parts of the lance of Longinus, that killed the Christ, and Longinus was a Gaul (Galatian) btw. And in a voyage to Constantinople they even inserted a fragment of the True Cross inside Joyeuse. And several Popes blessed it, as well as Byzantine emperors and Arthurian knights of the round table.If you question that it is his sword you are definitely not Catholic anymore. Do you question the shroud of Turin ? No ? Well don't question this.You are lucky this is 2026, otherwise you could be burned at the stake for what you are saying here.
>>222069452Are you alluding to the notion that those weapons were not classified as swords but as knives (Messer) and were thus exempt from certain restrictions? Because this is a modern myth.
>>222068157long stick >>> any blade
>>222069641>charlemagne used a sword of a type that wasn't invented and couldn't be physically manufactured due to metallurgical constraints until centuries after his deaththe holy kalashnikov of ivan the terrible innit
>>222069734i see. bit more background so i don't parrot modern memes?
>>222068614>Most of the country spoke Gaulish still at this pointso retarded I'm not even gonna bother reading the restwhy speak of something you know nothing of?
>>222068865>Schlachtschthere is precisely 1 (ONE) vowel in that whole giant cluster and somehow this is normal but when a polish nigga drops a simple cześć whole /int/ goes crazy
>>222069872Retard
>>222069798You won't be laughing so much in 500 years when the Russians worship Putin's personal nuke in St Basil's like this is Warhammer 40k.The Pope said it is his sword, either you accept it or you excommuniate yourself.
>>222069468Olympic fencing is not martial fencing. If you want to do that do HEMA. >>222069584Oh they were. But primarily as the color guards of infantry formations. The poem in pic rel (from the 1530s) describes their role as guarding the colors with their lives and driving back any enemy which had breached the formation.
>>222069798Pope Leo the first repelled the huns by shooting Attila in the head with his holy Beretta 92X Tactical
>>222069905ok Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz
this is a hussar saberit had this distinct thumb ring which allowed the user to swing it around in ways which would otherwise break his own handand as a cavalry saber it was pretty heavy, which means you had to swing it around a lot to not lose the momentum
>>222069964I was excommunicated in 1561 when Landmeister Gotthard Kettler secularized the Livonian Order and made it a Lutheran duchy.
>>222069969From the venetian records of the Battle of Lepanto, a venetian captain single handedly cleared a muslim galley's deck using his two hander. Being an area denial weapon, it was very effective during boardings where there isnt much space to outmaneuver you. They were commonly used in Italy.
>>222070131You need to find Falion in Morthal and bring him a black soul gem and he can cure you
>>222069969olympic fencing is super gay because after landing the first hit it doesn't matter if you get hit backirl that could cost you life so in historical or military fencing not getting hit is prioritized and sparring looks like an actual mindful exchange, not the spastic ADHD stabfest that is olympic fencing
>>222068157Selebe
>>222070184I used mods and console commands to kill everyone there. He's already dead, Jean-Pierre
>>222069820As far as I know the meme goes like this: the knifemakers guild expolited some legal loophole in order to manufactture quasi swords, thus encroaching on the market of the swordsmakers guild who was unable to do anything against this.The reality was that knifemakers and swordmakers were all part of the same overarching guilds.>>222070132I'm not so knowledgeable on naval combat. But this make sense as galleys had relatively open decks but were also rather narrow, so that the swordsmen couldn't become easily surrounded.
>>222070096Yes, thumb rings were common on cavarly swords.>>222070292Eh, it's a heavily sportified derivative of fencing. It has its own place and doesn't act like its historically accurate or useful in a combat situation.>>222070351Does the blade get wider near the tip or am I imagining that?
>>222068614>Most of the country spoke Gaulish still at this point
>>222068157Espada ropera (Spanish rapier) Introduced in the XVI century.
