What is the difference between broad swords and long swords in the crusades?

BroadsWords were basically large sWords requiring two hands. They favour stength over speed.

LongsWord were longer than normal sWords and were much faster than a broadsWord.

Wrong, A broadsWord has no real meaning and has been used to define all manner of sidesWords backsWords longsWords armingsWords and messers.

The term BroadsWord came around the same time as the rapier to define a weapon that was larger then a normal rapier.

Whilst a longsWord is a two-handed blade which gives a greater speed and reaction time then an arming sWord however limits you to leaving a shield behind.
