History Cupboard, #4: The Power of the Sword
From dull, Dark Age killing blades, to space-age fantasy side-arms, the sword has never been just an ordinary weapon – it has always been a multifaceted symbol of freedom, authority, justice and spiritual power, as well. And the shadow of the sword still looms large over us today in our language and our imaginations. Watch my new History Cupboard episode, #4 The Power of the Sword below (7.5mins).
My King Arthur novel The Broken Kingdom is available as an eBook and paperback here (audio coming soon), and The Loki Sword (Fire Born 3) is available from Amazon here.
