MODERATORS
The longsword second from the bottom seems pretty heavy for that profile tbh. Montante/Zweihänder (last one) is also on the upper end of usable weight. Bordering on ceremonial/parade sword
Montante where definitely used for more than just ceremonial/ threatening looking guards or housecarl. But yes because of their size they were used almost more like a spear.
They're saying it's very heavy for a Montante, normal ones were lighter. Extremely heavy swords were often reserved to parade, where style was more important than function
