Henry De Sainct-Didier
The known history of fencing in France begins in the 16th century, with the adoption of Italian styles of fencing. There are medieval predecessors, such as the Burgundian '' Le jeu de la hache'' ("The Play of the Axe") of ca. 1400, but the history of the classical French school begins with the foundation of the ''Académie des Maistres en faits d’armes de l’Académie du Roy'' (also known as the ''École française d’Escrime'') by Charles IX of France in December 1567. One master produced by this school was Henry de Saint-Didier, author of a 1573 treatise titled ''Traicté contenant les secrets du premier livre sur l'espee seule'' (Treatise containing the secrets of the first book on the single sword), dedicated to Charles IX.

Nicoletto Giganti
Nicoletto Giganti was a 17th-century Italian rapier fencing master. The frontispiece of his 1606 work names him as “Nicoletto Giganti, Venetian”, although evidence suggests he or his family, moved to Venice from the town of Fossombrone, in Le Marche, Central Italy. Little is known of Giganti’s life, but in the dedication to his 1606 treatise, he counts 27 years of professional experience, whereas the Giganti family of Fossombrone were lesser Nobility of Italy, nobility, long in the military service of Venice.

A sword is an edged and bladed weapons, edged, bladed weapon intended for manual cutting or thrusting. Its blade, longer than a knife or dagger, is attached to a hilt and can be straight or curved. A thrusting sword tends to have a straighter blade with a pointed tip. A slashing sword is more likely to be curved and to have a sharpened cutting edge on one or both sides of the blade. Many swords are designed for both thrusting and slashing. The precise definition of a sword varies by historical epoch and geographic region. Historically, the sword developed in the Bronze Age, evolving from the dagger; the Bronze Age sword, earliest specimens date to about 1600 BC. The later Iron Age sword remained fairly short and without a crossguard. The spatha, as it developed in the Late Roman army, became the predecessor of the European sword of the Middle Ages, at first adopted as the Migration Period sword, and only in the High Middle Ages, developed into the classical Knightly sword, ar ...
