Darksword Armory
The Black Prince Sword
Product Description
The English Prince Edward of Woodstock, The Black Prince of Wales, is well known to scholars of art, history, literature, and theater for his temper, lack of mercy, and derision towards the lower classes, in spite of his chivalrous beliefs.
The popularity of Edward III’s sword was surely affected when a medieval sword, discovered during the mid 20th century, was identified by Ewart Oakeshott as the medieval Sword of the Black Prince. Thought to have been stolen from Edward’s tomb centuries earlier, The Black Prince sword became one of the most recognizable artifacts of 14th Century.
Typical of the 14th century, The Black Prince Sword has a long needle-like hollow ground diamond shape blade specifically designed to penetrate plate armor with searing strength. Its resilient hollow ground blade provides this sword outstanding thrusting force and a extraordinary balance.
