What kind of weapon did Elizabethan men wear in their sword belts?
Depends. The upper-class weapon of the day was the rapier but, thank to the writings of George Silver, many Englishmen still considered that a "continental" weapon and still carried a variety of sword. The sword belt for the rapier was more appropriately referred to as a "hanger". Additionally, a dagger was usually worn with either, often at the back and accessible to the left hand, as most men (as today) were right-handed.
