👉 The Hampton Weapon, also known as the Hampton Sword, is a type of medieval European sword that was popular during the 12th to 14th centuries, particularly in England and parts of France. Characterized by its distinctive long, slender blade with a broad, rounded cross-section and a pronounced "hollow" or "hampton" shape at the base, it was designed for both cutting and thrusting. This design made it versatile for various combat situations, from close-quarters fighting to longer-range engagements. The weapon's unique shape also allowed for a wide grip, enhancing its effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat. The Hampton Weapon was often associated with the nobility and knights of the era, reflecting the martial prowess and status of its wielders.
