Late
14th century Hand and a Half Sword (Type: XVa) - The original sword, which
rests in a private collection in England, is thought to possibly be the
sword of Edward the Black Prince. The Black Prince, son of Edward III and
father of Richard II, was known as a great warrior. The sword was removed
from its resting place during the English Civil War, Cromwell being blamed
for its disappearance.
