| I don't see how a conquistadore could match up with the quick sword of the sammurai. |

The conquistadore swordsmen were known variously as rodeleros ("shield-bearers") and espadachins ("swordsmen"). They wore various types of armor (3/4 or 1/2 plate, maille, brigandines, native Aztec armor, etc), used a round shield either of wood reinforced with steel, or all steel (rodela), and a straight, tapered, double-edged, complex-hilted cut-and-thrust sword (espada). They were highly trained, and were among the best swordsmen in Europe at that time. I think a Spanish rodelero could really give a samurai a run for his money, actually. ------------- "Who despises me and my praiseworthy craft, I'll hit on the head that it resounds in his heart." --Augustin Staidt, of the Federfechter (German fencing guild) |
