This team researched swords and sword combat through the ages in the Western world and put together a detailed research document on the subject. Based on this research, the team created a video documentary for the Higgins Armory Museum highlighting the various swords and styles of combat of the Western world; the video is approximately 15 minutes long and covers swords from the Viking era to the late 1800s -- early 1900s.
