Sword control?? Don’t they know that criminals can still get their hands on swords?

poled weapons are more dangerous, weird to ban the backup weapon and not the main

Meh, swords are mediocre weapons compared to a pike or a spear

Swords weren’t controlled inherently because they were dangerous, it was to keep the serfs from rebelling… so always for power and control over others

Swords were expensive because tempered metal was costly to source. Thus mainly rich citizens, or military had them.

Swords were more of a ceremonial device. Spears were much more common

It’s true. Swords are a luxury item. Require lots of metal and high skill. The most common weapon is a spear. Spears are also often better than swords. Watch some combat footage for perspective

I think they even had rules on what colors/material your clothes could be, so that only nobles could wear some stuff so the class divisions were clearer

Why does she not mention any specific dates and laws ? Medieval Europe Spans almost a thousand years and an entire continent.

thats not 100% historically accurate. it depends what time period and who's lands you controlled. also metal was expensive, most tyrannical kings did suppress weapons to masses
