THAT'S WRONG
orry, knights didn't have such high-tech equipment back in Norman times! The hand-and-a-half thrusting sword would not be developed for another 400 years or so when knights needed particularly sharp-edged and tipped weapons that could ram through an opponent's heavy plate armor. Right now, knights are happy with flat, broad swords that cut and slash.
