A greatsword, also called a "war sword" or a "sword of war", is a subtype of the longsword (see Longsword) and a two-handed variant of the arming sword (see Arming Sword) specialized for cutting. These larger swords initially appeared in the late 12th century but were frequently used uin the 13th and 14th, after which they were largely replaced by longswords and bastard swords, but the type was revived in the 16th century as more unarmored infantry returned to the battlefields.
