Crecy War Sword: It is without a doubt that the Battle of Crecy was one of the most decisive battles of the 100 Years War between England and France. After the battle of Sluys, Edward III landed in Cotentin Peninsula and ravaged lower Normandy in July 1346 with about 10,000 men. The French pursued. Edward III decided to halt near Crecy in Normandy and to prepare for battle the next day.
The French vanguard made contact with the English and started to attack without the benefit of a strategic plan. The French made as many as 15 or 16 attacks through the night, but the English defeated each one in turn, primarily thanks to the English longbowmen. In the end, the French were decimated and the English had a decisive victory.
The Crecy is one type of sword that would have seen service on both sides during the 100 Years War.
Oakeshott describes the Type XVIa sword as having a long, tapering blade, broad at the hilt, with a sharp, often reinforced, point.
The elite Kingdom of Arms Crecy War sword is a fine example of a later period epee de guerre, or war sword, a refinement of the earlier XIIa in response to changes in the Armour of the period.
