Product description
The Battle of Tewkesbury on 4 May 1471 was a decisive battle during the Wars of the Roses. The Wars of the Roses took place between 1455 and 1485, a series of battles for the English crown fought between the houses of Lancaster and York. Both families were members of the ruling English dynasty, the Plantagenets. The war is named after the emblem of both families: a red rose for the Lancasters and a white rose for the Yorkists. Tragically, it was this very war that led to the end of this dynasty. After this, the Tudors came to power in England.
This sword is a replica based on originals that were used during the Battle of Tewkesbury. This one-and-a-half sword, or bastard sword, is made of tempered 9260 spring steel. The pommel is screwed and the grip consists of a wood core wrapped with black leather. It has a cross-guard with cross-shaped motifs and a cork-shaped pommel, also with a cross motif. The cross-guard is approximately 23 cm long and 0.5 cm thick. The sword is supplied including a scabbard with a wood core and covered with black leather. The scabbard has a steel tip.
