The medieval sword in the 10th to 13th centuries developed gradually from the Viking sword of the 9th century. In Medieval times there were 4 primary weapons: lance, sword, mace, and longbow.

Knight & Horse with Gorgeous Shield Statue features a sword. Thus, this knight has both a shield and a sword and armor. Very well protected! This statue shows it all so well.

The posture of the horse is good. The knight has full face covering. It's interesting how one statue can have so much detail.
