Few sword enthusiasts today know swordplay from firsthand experience, and we can trust that movie directors exaggerate what we see on the big screen, for the sake of art and ticket sales.
But at OnlyKnives, we know the truth. We pored over old fables and legends, historical documents and newspaper accounts to find some of the best stories of real sword battles.
Finally, we put it all together into this — the most realistic version of what really happens when enemies meet with raised blades.
Enjoy the list. But don't expect to see that guy on the right. That's Mordred, who famously battled King Arthur. Except that it never really happened.
