To put it plainly, I've seen a few incorrect and misleading statements and assertions made on this page; specifically to do with Italian and English longsword.

I recently edited the Italian longsword section to remove some baseless speculation on Fiore being a student of Liechtenauer, German and Italian longsword systems being 'very closely related' (How so? And in comparison to what?), and an assertion that German, Italian and English longsword arts aren't any different. All of the above points are quite controversial, to say the least:
* There's no evidence whatsoever that I've ever seen that Fiore ever studied with or under Johannes Liechtenauer.
* German and Italian longsword naturally have similarities, but significant differences too, and it's not very accurate to say/imply that they're interchangeable.
* Following on from the above point, not only is it rather debatable to reduce 'German' and 'Italian' systems to being practically identical, it's rather generous to even say that we ''have'' an English system of longsword today, given how fragmented our few sources on the subject are.
