What were the most powerful legendary weapons of Medieval history? Download Vikings: War of Clans ➤ Android: clcr.me/Mzlibn ➤ IOS: clcr.me/tVgvIW and become a hero of exciting events in the world of Vikings
Today we are all to familiar with the fantasy trope of named legendary weapons with all kinds of crazy abilities. 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.

@@CaspertheSarcasticGhost Well, as far as I know, Washington's sword never got this much action: "In January 1974, the M-19 guerrillas introduced themselves to Colombia with a dramatic gesture: They invaded the Quinta de Bolívar in La Candelaria and stole Libertador Simon Bolivar's sword. With the sort of dramatic, media-friendly flourish the M-19 were known for, they then announced that 'Bolivar's sword had returned to battle' - presumably for democracy, sovereignty and social justice. In the M-19's hands, the sword seems to have been hidden in a brothel, in the homes of various Colombian artists and intellectuals, and then smuggled to revolutionary Cuba. Meanwhile, after several more dramatic actions, the M-19's career turned tragic in 1985 when its assault on the Justice Palace became a bloodbath. When the M-19 signed a peace treaty with the government and demobilized in 1991, its leaders gave back to the Colombian nation what they claimed was the same sword they had stolen."

One thing of note about Joyous is that there is some evidence of it being reforged several times through the centuries, so there is a mild chance that some of the metal might be from Charlemagnes sword Another thing is that I'm mildly surprised you guys didn't bring up the Ulfberht swords. They definitely fit the bill, made out of crucible steel (not surpassed until the industrial era) and of such quality that they'd stand head and shoulders above common weapons.

@minnumseerrund 3 года назад

Ooooh, and even more intriguing, the majority of the Ulfberht swords uncovered seem to be copies. So basically, one or a group of smiths made swords so great that everybody else started copying the design, down to the markings - kinda like knock-off Gucci handbags.

@mylifeisacomplexpastiche7901 3 года назад

Pretty sure large scale crucible steel is still being used in steel fabrication, I think

@imgoingforawalk1693 3 года назад

I was surprised they didn't mention them at all during the bit about Skofnung, considering it was almost certainly made using similar crucible steel, even if it didn't have the classic inscription. The bit about the snake coming out of the crossguard if you breathed on it was almost certainly the condensation from the breath outlining the designs in the crucible steel, which would then travel upward like a "snake".

@imgoingforawalk1693 3 года назад

@Interrupting Cow No. Most people would have been completely unaware of the difference in material, and we know that the swords were legendary because people made contemporary fakes using non-crucible steel. That's where you get misspelled versions like +ULFBERHT+ and +ULFBEHRT+. The correct inscription being +ULFBERH+T.

@imgoingforawalk1693 3 года назад

@Interrupting Cow Even the people using the swords probably wouldn't know the difference, only the blacksmith who made it would, and even then it's uncertain. And the theory that they were Frankish swords doesn't hold up very well, considering the Franks had no idea how to produce crucible steel either. The steel was brought back to Scandinavia via the Volga trade route from the Middle East, who, in turn, brought Wootz Steel back from India. Indeed, the production of these swords seems to have stopped when the Volga trade route closed down. And while the dude using the sword may have known the blacksmith who made it, he definitely would not have known _how_ the blacksmith made it. These things were trade secrets. Additionally, the blacksmiths may have used bone chunks to increase the carbon content in the steel they used. From wolves, bears, or even an ancestor, which would have, in the minds of the Danes, bound the "strength" of the animal/person into the sword, therefore giving it supernatural qualities.

I think what's most impressive about the Sword of Goujian is that it's the only one on this list to be verifiably authentic and has survived for this long.

@RinoGato 2 года назад

I'm actually curious - Is it authentic tho? Did anyone outside of China ever had a proper look at the blade? Not that I want to say they're lying about the origins of that sword and it would definitely be impressive if the sword is over 2500yrs old, but I found that when a country or organization doesn't allow outsiders to do research on a subject or item, chances are pretty high it's a fraud, as already often seen in probably every country and organization including, but not exclusive to, China, Russia, USA, Vatican, different christian, muslim, jewish, buddhist, hidnu and whatnot groups yada yada etc. Again, I don't want to say they're lying about this because the weapon looks impressive, it's very rare to find weapons that old in a such a good state. But according to historians, curators and the like, there are about 1500 swords of Goujian in circulation in musems, nationwide relic fairs and the like alone, given the fact that according to folklore and other sources Goujian had 5 bronze swords, at least 1495 have to be fake.

Durendal has been my favorite ever since I read the Song of Roland. Its hilt is gold, and it houses four relics: A tooth of St. Peter, blood of St. Basil, hair of St. Denis, and a piece of St. Mary's garment. The sword was given to Charlenagbe by an angel, who gifted it to his nephew, the paladin Roland. The sword was capable of cutting through an armored man from helmet to groin, and would then pass through the body of a horse! It also could not be broken, and would cut cleanly through stones. Hence, its name might translate to "enduring".

Not much is known about it, and until recently it wasn't even clear where it was (there were multiple candiate-swords all claiming to be the real thing) until a group of historians tracked down the actual sword (or at least the most likely candidate, it is never a certain thing in these cases due to the interrupted track record) in a museum in Dresden, Germany.

The other swords of Arthurian legends also tended to have magical properties, often equal to excalibur. Lancelot's Alondite, Gawain's Galatine etc. There's also the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, which is probably the other most famous legendary sword besides Excalibur itself. Indian myth also has several named legendary bows- The Gandiva, used by Arjuna, which had 108 celestial strings and "possessed the power of a hundred thousand bows". Saranga, the bow of Rama, which could apparently destroy an entire army with a single shot. And the Vijaya, used by Karna, that made its wielder invincible.

Honorable mention: Gáe Bulg. Celtic spear held by Cu Chulainn. Once it pierced it would explode multiple barbs inside the target. Only drawback is that you could only use it with your toes.

"scabbards of invulnerability"... Adds a pummel to the screen for a great visual reference.

Zulfikar never went away, nor is it impracticle. The swords of the Phillipe Islands often feature split tips, like the "Moro Laring" in homage to Ali and Zulfikar. I own a Moro Laring among my many blades and I can tell you it is absolutely LETHAL as a weapon!

I enjoyed the video more than I thought I would. I don't think I have seen a video on the military tactics and resistance to the U.S. government of the Apaches during the Indian Wars and think it would be both interesting and illuminating.

@kinglouiev9530 3 года назад

They were rough & was arguably the most successful American nomads. They had never been entirely subjugated by the US until 1924 & in Mexico in 1933. There was even a French gang named after them called “Les Apaches”.

The tradition of battle magic still carries on to this day. I think Africa is probably the best modern representation of this.

@sztallone415 3 года назад

Well, if you go more abstract or subtle, you could even say that it's everywhere, as I'm certain all nations' forces has some kind of rituals/superstitions/old customs. It's a natural part of being in a very dangerous line of work.

I once forged a legendary bolo. It cut the thickest bamboo like grass. It needed skill not to completely sever a stem, as that's dangerous. It weighed half as much as a traditional bolo and had a guard and full, but hidden tang. The Aeta prized it highly. It was literally like magic.

Gáe Bulg, the spear of Cu Chulainn. From the Irish Mythologies Ulster Cycle. It was made from the bone of the dead Coinchenn, a sea monster, that washed onto the irish shore after being killed by the Curruid. Legends of its abilities range from; It can pierce armor: to :Once it pierces the skin, it can only be removed by cutting it out of the body. From; It can set itself on fire: to :it can fly and attack on its own. To Even; If you throw it with your toes it will home in on a target, then split into thirty barbs like a cluster missile.

The first three that came to my mind were attila’s sword of the gods, king Arthur’s Excalibur, and cao Cao’s sword 🗡 of nine jewels 💎.

I'll name some weapons I found very interesting. Crocea Mors (yellow death) - The weapon allegedly wielded by Caesar himself, killing everyone who was struck with it. According to legends, Caesar had a duel with the british/welsh prince Nennius who acquired it after Caesar had a single combat with it and the sword getting stuck in the shield of Nennius. Since Nennius was wounded during the duel, he died some days after and the sword was buried with him. Taming Sari - A kris, said to make anyone wielding it unbeatable and sometimes even giving physical invulnerability. Setan Kober (devil of the grave) - Another kris, said to be posessed by an evil spirit, said to make the wielder overly ambitious and impatient. Szczerbiec - The coronation sword of Poland from 1320-1764, probably created in the Rhineland. The translation would be "jagged/notched sword", because Boleslaus the Brave allegedly chipped the sword by hitting it against the golden gate of Kiev during its capture. That being said, the city was captured in 1018, but the golden gate was only build in 1037, so that's that. The sword does look fantastic tho. Colada - The lesser known sword of El Cid. It frightens unworthy opponents if a brave warrior wields it. The sword was used by Martin Antolinez, a knight of El Cid, in a duel against the infante Diego Gonzalez. Harpe - The sword Cronus used to castrate his father Uranus. Even tho depictions differ, the earliest depictions show it as a khopesh-like weapon. Curtana - The sword of mercy, it is said that it's of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse (Charlemagne) and Durendal (Roland).

The Han Emperor's sword was only the 2nd of three legendary swords of the time. 1st was the Tian Zi sword wielded by his nemesis Xiang Yu and the 3rd was the Yuan Wu sword used by Han Xin.

I’ve asked some questions on Quora, such as “IF a sword were made to vibrate just like a tuning fork, would it be a ‘singing sword’?” and certain people answered & explained how “Singing Sword”s may have actually existed. Thus, my question is, mainly as a hypothetical video, is about truths within myths, such as unintentionally refining & adding radioactive metals into jewelry & weaponry, which would likely get ‘em labeled as ‘cursed’…
