Conquest: Sword of the Musketeers

6/25/2016

Comments

 
Hosted by Peter Woodward, Conquest is a TV series about weapons from throughout history. This show was recommended by Michael, our Training Committee Chair, who found it while doing research and thought it would be an interesting addition to the blog. Well, he thought right! 

Sword of the Musketeers is Episode 11 of  Season 1. It aired on March 30th, 2003​. Here's the synopsis from TV.com:
The classic cut-and-thrust of the Hollywood movies had a basis in reality. The cup-hilt rapier, with its light and flexible blade, did not require a left-hand dagger for defense.

​This was the sword of the French
 Musketeers and of the Spanish Conquistadors--the most feared swordsmen in Europe. Our team shows how the art and sport of fencing began with this weapon, and compares the reality of the weapon with the myth of its use. Hosted by actor and fight master Peter Woodward. 
You can watch the full episode in three parts below!
Thank you to Michael for the excellent recommendation, and thank you for watching with us! 

-- Casey, Webmaster
