Answer 1

From around 1300, in concert with improved armour, innovative sword
designs evolved more and more rapidly. The main transition was the
lengthening of the grip, allowing two-handed use, and a longer blade.

By 1400 this type of sword, at the time called langes Schwert (longsword) or
spadone, was common, and a number of 15th and 16th century "fechtbucher"
teaching their use survive.

Another variant was the specialization of armour-piercing swords of the Estoc
type. The longsword became popular due to is extreme reach and cutting and
thrusting abilities. The estoc became popular because of its ability to thrust
into the gaps in-between plates of armour.

This sword gradually became obsolete as thicker forms of armour rendered
the piercing blade ineffective. As armour thickened, blacksmiths labored to
increase the size of the sword, resulting in such weapons as the bastard and
two-handed sword.

Though light blades were retained by cavalry for some time, the infantry blade
was eventually abandoned entirely.

The largest recorded sword was that forged by Gustav Heinshreck in the 16th
century. His "Vervierfachen Sie hat gereicht Blatt" was a sword nearly twelve
feet in length, requiring two men to wield effectively. Though capable of
penetrating even the thickest armour, it ultimately proved too unwieldy for
common use.

In the 16th century, the large Zweihänder concluded the trend of ever
increasing sword sizes (mostly due to the beginning of the decline of plate
armor and the advent of firearms), and the early Modern Age returned to
lighter one-handed weapons.

The sword in the Renaissance period was the most personal weapon, the
most prestigious, and the most versatile for close combat, but it came to find a
greater role in civilian self-defense than in military use as technology changed
warfare.
