On True Two-handers

Postby Sal Bertucci » Sun Mar 01, 2009 12:54 am

I remember reading somewhere that George Silver said that a Two Handed Sword would be used similarly to a staff. Would any one know what page I can find that? I've been searching, but not having much luck. I might also be going insane (or been there for quite a while), and just wanted to rule out that possibility.

Chapter 10 of Brief Instructions, the two-handed sword: "These weapons are to be used in fight as the short staff".

Ok, I see it now. Thanks. When I was skimming through everything I got the meaning of that sentence mixed up. I appreciate the help.
