Topic suggestion: Fencing / Swords
"There is a reference to an English tournament of 1507 in which among the events contestants are challenged to "8 strookes with Swords rebated". Wooden training weapons were sometimes called wasters in the 1200's or batons in the 1300's and 1400's. Knightly combat with blunt or "foyled" weapons for pleasure was known as 㠠plaisance, combat to the death was 㠠l㳵utrance."

There are many other informative sites in addition to the one quoted, for all time periods.
