Summary/Abstract: The sword recovered in Șmig (commune Alma, Sibiu county) is a fairly widespread weapon in Medieval Europe, dating from the mid-13th to the mid-14th century, a typical weapon of Western chivalry, that however might have survived in peasant or town environments long after it ceased being used by the military elite.
