Schiavonesca Schiavonesca (or Italian: "spada schiavonesca" , "Slavic sword"), was a type of longsword, characterized by a S-shaped crossguard, that originated in late 14th-century Serbia and was used by knights in the Kingdom of Hungary and Republic of Venice during the 15th and 16th centuries. The oldest specimens are estimated to date to the last decades of the 14th century, a period when Serbia was in constant conflict, while the oldest mention is from the will of blacksmith Dobrič Bunisalić dating to 1391, held at the Ragusan Archives ("...doe spade schiavonesche..."). The name originated from the Balkan Slavs who used such swords in Venetian service. The term "Sclavonia" was the common Ragusan name for Serbia, for the most part of history its neighbouring state. The Ottoman expansion and conquests saw north- and westward migrations of Serbs, initially within the Serbian state (the Serbian Despotate) and then to the neighbouring Hungary and Venetian Dalmatia. In Hungary, the Serbian population was very active in defending the southern border against the Ottomans. The production of this type of sword became more typologically uniform in Hungary and Venice.
