Viking Sword Overview

The Viking sword, also recognized as the Viking Age or Ulfberht sword, was a prominent weapon in Western and Northern Europe during the Early Middle Ages. Originating in the 8th century from the Merovingian sword and influenced by the Roman Gladius, it was the weapon of choice for Viking warriors. This single-handed sword, known for its sharp tip and edges, was adept for both slashing and thrusting. It remained popular until the 12th century, eventually transitioning into the Norman and then the knightly swords of the Middle Ages.
