hosszúságokban

Hosszúságokban, also known as "longs" or "longswords," are a type of sword that originated in Europe during the Middle Ages. They are characterized by their length, typically ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters, and their single-edged blade. The term "hosszúság" comes from the Hungarian language, where "hosszú" means "long."

These swords were primarily used by infantrymen and were designed for thrusting and cutting attacks. Their length allowed for a greater reach, making them effective against armored opponents. The blade was usually made of steel, and the hilt was often adorned with decorative elements.

Hosszúságok were commonly used in various European armies, including those of Hungary, Poland, and the Holy Roman Empire. They were often paired with a shield, forming a formidable fighting style known as the "hussar" or "hussar" style.

Despite their effectiveness, the use of hosszúságok declined with the advent of firearms and the development of new military tactics. However, they remain an important part of historical and cultural heritage, often featured in museums, reenactments, and popular culture.
