DOUBLE HANDED SWORD FIGHTS
Two-handed swords: Were usually very heavy and thus; only strong men could carry them.
Since these swords could not be accompanied by a shield, most soldiers relied on very heavy armour in order to protect themselves effectively. This was, most of the time, a common cause for the slow demise of foot soldiers as carrying a complete heavy armour and a two-handed sword would result in an extreme amount of weight.
Nevertheless, two-handed swords were very effective at penetrating an enemy's armour. In most of the cases, they were so powerful that not only could they destroy an armour, but they could also completely cut a man in two - his armour included.
This simple fact of extreme effectiveness against armoured foot soldiers, is what made two-handed swords so effective. A single-handed sword was virtually useless against a knight using a two-handed sword and heavy armour.
