English longsword school

While the majority of surviving sources concerning the use of the two-handed longsword detail the German school of swordsmanship and the Italian school of swordsmanship, there was also a smaller English school with its own techniques (for an example: Half-sword). The body of techniques used in English Longsword use has survived to the modern day in three manuscripts: The Ledall Roll (British Library Add MS 39564); Man yt Wol ("The Man that Will") (British Library Harley MS 3542) and the British Library Cotton Titus Manuscript == Sources == The three main sources can be accessed by a research visit to the British Library in London, where all three reside.
