“The Hastings” is an elegant sword design inspired by the classic hand-and-a-half weapons wielded by Norman knights. Drawing from the Oakeshott Type XIIIa lineage, this version features a distinctive double fuller that extends along three-quarters of the blade, enhancing both balance and aesthetics. Named after the pivotal Battle of Hastings—fought on October 14, 1066—this sword pays homage to one of the most consequential events in English history. The Norman victory not only ended Anglo-Saxon rule but also ushered in sweeping cultural and legal changes, including the foundations of English common law.
