Donald McBane was known for using a smallsword and a spadroon in his own writing, but knowing McBane, I suspect the type of blade didn't matter, whether a colchimarde, a basket hilted broadsword or a hanger...he'd cut you with any of them.

Thank you for your comment! So you would say then that this counts as Scottish broadsword source material?

I would say it does because from what you describe the roots are Scottish how long it remains so is a deferent question do to changes over time.

Thank you for your comment! I pretty much agree with this assessment. It hints at the necessary follow up question, “would people have thought of this author’s work as a Scottish broadsword treatise at the time when it was written?”

Yes I would say so but I am not convinced there was anything really different fundamentally between Scottish and English swordsmanship outside of maybe the inclusion of the targe.

Thank you for your comment! Generally speaking I’m inclined to agree for the most part. However, there’re some notable outliers, Thomas Page’s 1746 treatise, for example. It presents a style that has distinctly different body mechanics than the typical British military swordsmanship we’re usually familiar with.

*Dutch or French languages* I just googled it, and you are 100% correct in pointing out my mistake, thank you haha! I visited Belgium in 2012, and I could identify that what they were speaking was definitely not French. I speak a little German, but zero Dutch, so I just assumed it was its own language. My mistake!
