The Battle of Tewkesbury, which took place on 4 May 1471, was one of the decisive battles of the Wars of the Roses. The battle was fought by the Yorkist army under Edward IV vs. Lancastrian forces led by the Duke of Somerset on behalf of Queen Margaret. Many of valiant knights carried blades just like this one but minus the sturdy polyurethane foam construction. This style of longsword was great for thrusting and slicing making it very popular during that time period. The handle features a medallion golden pommel that matches the curved sloping guard. This Medieval reproduction has a very strong 10mm inner core so that this blade can be used for mock battles, costumes, and light play.
