Historic longsword fighting techniques (Medieval Technical Manuals Book 7)
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, History

Longsword fighting techniques are inseparably linked to Johannes Liechtenauer, a 14th century German fencing master. Unfortunately there are no records of his life but he was described by many later masters as the “Grand Master” of his art. His teachings were preserved in a poem called “Zettel”, a cryptic poem that could only be understood by initiated disciples. The earliest treatise on Liechtenauer’s system is a manuscript dating to 1389 known as Codex 3227a. The history of the German school of longsword fencing covers over 250 years between the 14th and the 17th century.
