Is The bastard sword Real?

• Bastard sword terminology: The term “bastard sword” is not entirely accurate. It’s more appropriate to call it a hand-and-a-half sword. This reflects the sword’s design for use with either one or two hands.
• Who used them: Hand-and-a-half swords were indeed popular with knights during the Hundred Years’ War, but they were also used by men-at-arms, who were not necessarily nobility.

Here’s a corrected version:

The hand-and-a-half sword, also known as a bastard sword, was a versatile weapon popular during the late Middle Ages (roughly 13th to 15th centuries). These swords were commonly used by both knights and men-at-arms during the Hundred Years’ War (1337 to 1453) between England and France. Their design allowed for one-handed use with a shield or two-handed use for greater power. For more information Click Here
