There must be several contenders for that title. Myself I would place Excalibur in legend rather than in history- especially since nobody is certain who Arthur really was. 'King Arthur' has several locations laying claim as the site of his exploits. Alternatively, the legend may knit together remembrances of several notable British military leaders of the time. I might plump for the Ulfberht sword as being as famous and as feared as any weapon of its day. Not an individual sword, but a type of 'superior technology' sword engineered by the Vikings, using advanced metallurgical techniques unmatched in Europe until centuries later.
You seem to know a heck of a lot about it Nice. You weren't ever captured by pirates by chance, were you, and forced into awful situations you couldn't possibly tell us about. PS. Just for reference, I always enjoy reading your entertaining posts. Thanks.
