Castillon Bastard Sword

Sold out!
The long series of campaigns between England and France from 1337 to 1453, known collectively as the Hundred Years War (although it actually spanned 120 years), had its origin in disputes over lands held in fief by the English crown and the aid given by the French to the Scots in their wars against England plus French interference with the profitable wool trade between the English and Flemish cities. The war began when Edward III of England claimed his right to the French throne through his mother Isabella, daughter of the French King Philip IV.  This Castillon Bastard Sword is named for the French victory in 1431.  Features a brass pommel and guard with a wood and leather grip. Well-tempered blade made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Includes leather scabbard.
