Beautiful swords.
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.
The ulfbert was the best of the so-called Viking swords
Why not call the smiths what they were? These people were specialists and not blacksmiths. I would go as far as to call them sword smiths. As a craftsman, you know your field of knowledge and experience, so most of us will dedicate ourselves to one niche and branch slightly to others.

Bad choice of imagery, and carolingian was not ever a contemporary term.

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.
Not bad except for when you keep putting shots of those stupid fantasy sword in it. It doesn't help your credibility any.

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.
