I am part of a company that re-enact based around the 13th century. It is hot in all that wool! In medieval England, a woman could not wear a sword, daggers only, please.
@chockaholic2020 i question if they have good swords at thise events though as they appeal the the masses rather than those who would spend on a good one.
I bought a bollock knife to add to my costume authenticity. It is a dagger about eight inches long with a beautifully carved handle, as would have been worn by wealthier folk in 13th century England. I got it from a UK based website, but they do sell at the re-enactment fairs around the country and are well regarded. If you want details, PM me.
