A pair of fencers with sideswords from De Arte Athletica of Paulus Hector Mair, published in Augsburg, Germany, 1542.
@say_shannon The earliest European fighting treatise we have is manuscript 1.33, dating c.1290-1320 and features illustrations of a female fencer using sword and buckler
Look, @GillianRedfearn , giant birds are totally scary and these still existed like 20,000 years ago.
I am so glad they all died out they are awful
