The term "[[broadsword]]" was never used historically to describe the one-handed [[arming sword]].{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} The arming sword was wrongly labelled a broadsword by antiquarians as the medieval swords were similar in blade width to the military swords of the day (that were also sometimes labeled as broadswords) and broader than the dueling swords and ceremonial dress swords.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}}
