http://www.clemusart.com/museum/collect/armrglos.html
hand-and-a-half sword
Also known as a "bastard" sword. A large sword with a double-edged blade and a long grip which, when necessary, could accommodate both hands to wield it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_and_a_Half_sword
More commonly referred to as the bastard sword because of the fact that it has the handle space for two hands and is light enough so that it can be handled with one hand.
