Longswords, of the Florence variety.
We usually practice with longswords and one-hand-and-a-half swords (I think they're known as "bastard swords" in the UK), plus stripe-and-buckler and sometimes maces too. We train on claymores too, but not when staging for the public, and as Lady Fitzgerald said yes, those fuckers are HUGE, "taller than a tall man" as old books say.
Of course, it' all staged, not real fights, but it is a great stress reliever anyway
