The Medieval Broadsword
The medieval symbol of power, religion, and authority, the broadsword's final mould resulted from thousands of years of technological advances. Peter Woodward leads us through the weapon's history, noting various defiencies ancient warriors endured in battle, such as excessive weight and metal weakness. As man came closer to forging the perfect weapon, combat techniques and defensive armor evolved. Watch as the Conquest Team suits up as knights of old to test the might of the broadsword! TV PG

Are the same things on in UK as USA?

Conquest is a awsome show, the fighting is a little corny, but the info is great.
