Basket-Hilt Broadsword ("Mortuary Sword"), hilt: c. 1640-1650; blade: 18th Century. Creator: Unknown.

Basket-Hilt Broadsword ("Mortuary Sword"), hilt: c. 1640-1650; blade: 18th Century. The decoration on this sword's hilt includes an image of King Charles I of England (beheaded in 1649). Because the image resembles the king's death mask, this sword is known as a "mortuary sword." It may have belonged to Sir Thomas Fairfax, a general of the Parliamentary cavalry during the English Civil War (1642-51). Large, double-edged broadswords, designed for heavy cavalry use, were common from the 1600s through the 1800s.
