This shows up in table top games like Dungeons and Dragions, in video games like World of Warcraft, in literature like The Lord of the Rings, and in TV shows like Game of Thrones. But where did this idea get started? It turns out that this has actually been a long tradition that was even written about back in the Medieval period. In this history documentary we cover the top legendary weapons from medieval history. We begin by discussing the general idea of named swords in the past and how it can be hard to authenticate modern artifacts. It is important to understand that most legendary items claimed to exist today are known or suspected forgeries. But with that disclaimer in mind we proceed to at least examine the history of these legendary artifacts. The history documentary covers the following famous items: King Arthur and the Excalibur sword William Wallace and his 2-handed claymore Hrolf Kraki and the Skofnung sword Charlemagne and the Joyeuse sword El Cid and the Tizona sword Ali and the Zulfiqar sword Attila the Hun and the sword of Mars Emperor Gaozu of Han and the Red Sky sword Guan Yu and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade There are many more magic items and magic weapons we discuss and yet more legendary weapons we have been forced to omit. I hope that our short list has at least brought you a greater appreciation (and maybe even inspiration) when it comes to our own legendary weapons from fantasy settings. I know I'll definitely be stealing a few of these ideas for my Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Stay tuned for more videos on medieval history. Bibliography and Suggested Reading Le Mort D’Arthur E. M.
