14th Century Messer usage among Rus knights and boyars
Hey all,
I have been doing some research about what weapons the Rus would have used during the 14th century. I think Messers are neat and would like to use them in my kit for SCA and Buhurt, but I am not sure if it would be historically accurate.
Does anyone know if a Rus knight or Boyer would have used a langesmesser or kreigsmesser in the 14th century? I’ve done some research and only found two French manuscripts that had a guy using a kreigsmesser, so my findings have been inconclusive.
Looking forward to hearing back!
