Negative Positive
Title: very inaccurate
Review: This book is incredibly inaccurate, perpetuating some of the Victorian era inspired myths that frankly should have died with them. It is sad that someone who actually gets published, and one would presume did a tiny bit of research could state that a sword weighed 20 pounds and required massive upper body strength to wield it. Did the author ever pick one up? The actual average weight of a knights sword of normal size is between 2.5 lb. and 3.5 lbs. Even the big hand-and-a-half swords rarely weigh more than 4.5 lbs. Same about how a knight in full plate was helpless on the ground. Again not true and just another example of how poor this book is. Don't waste your time and money.
