Thus, Russia as such never had a truly national, original sword. Even in the 13 century:-)

In the 13th century, the Normans were the people of the Channel Islands off the coast of France.
Perhaps you called the Normans the ruling class of the English kingdom? Then you can really speculate about English swords in 13th century India
