A sword inspired by the monumental brass of Sir William de FitzRalph, a 14th century knight, preserved in the Church of St John the Baptist in Pebmarsh, Essex, England — one of the finest surviving Medieval memorial brasses depicting a knight in full arming.
The inspiration for this sword comes from the monumental brass of Sir William de FitzRalph, located in the Church of St John the Baptist in Pebmarsh, Essex, England. Dating to the 14th century, the brass preserves a detailed depiction of a knight in contemporary equipment — these memorial brasses are a genuinely valuable historical source for reconstructing Medieval equipment, since they capture precise detail of swords, armour, and dress exactly as worn by a real, named individual, rather than relying solely on surviving physical artefacts.
Deepeeka's reproduction recreates the sword shown in this remarkable memorial, part of our Medieval heritage range.
