Ple-Sen
Auto-translated
Well, still, we shouldn't forget that real life isn't a computer game where all units of the same type have the same weapon.
Initially, yes, a bastard sword most likely appeared as an adaptation of a simple sword for cavalrymen, because a two-handed sword was too heavy for them, and it was difficult to reach the infantry with a regular one-handed sword without falling off the horse, and only in the second place was the problem of the weight of the two-handed sword. But to claim that a bastard sword is a weapon for mounted knights is incorrect; for example, our Alexander Nevsky fought with a bastard sword, but he was neither a knight nor a cavalryman.
correcting incorrect comments with a smart look is absurd
