Stage Combat Sir William Marshal Sword
Our Stage Combat swords feature tempered, high carbon steel blades and are designed for light combat use. They have durable, thick edges, more than suitable for the rigours of stage combat and display fights. They also feature rounded tips for extra safety. Stage Combat swords are noticeably heavier than historical replicas due to the added weight afforded by the thicker edges. These swords are not designed for re-enactment use.

Replica of the legendary "Joyeuse", currently in the Louvre Museum, but which comes from the treasure of the abbey of Saint-Denis. This sword has been used in the consecration of all the kings and emperors of France. The sword of consecration was considered, since the thirteenth century, as that of Charlemagne, the "Joyeuse" (the Merry). Its handle and insert, which carry a vegetal element in the center of the guard, date back to the High Middle Ages. Its spike, adorned until 1804 with fleurs-de-lis on the rhombuses, looks Gothic.
