Feel free! There are so many old law books from central Europe that we don’t have to treat the law from London and the coroner’s reports from 14th century London as our go-to example of ‘medieval law on carrying weapons.’ Maybe things were different in other places, maybe not, if someone spends enough time reading old script the evidence is out there.

There is another law in that book about members of the militia carrying a sword or langes Messer when on duty in the streets.
