The Epping Forest Sword

When you think of old England, you might think of knights on horseback and fair maidens being locked in towers. And while much of this history has been dramatized for television and film, there's no denying that life was once like that. In fact, a discovery in Epping Forest proved that swords, suits, and armor were a real thing. And what's even more amazing about this sword found in the forest is that the forest is home to a whopping 55,000 trees.
