What advantages did steel swords have over iron swords?
Unlike iron, steel never rusts, so it is more durable and stronger.
I have opted to leave the previous answer intact. Steel can and will rust if not maintained. The last part of the previous answer is however, correct. Steel is simply a better choice due to better wear Resistance, toughness, and hardness
It's really a matter of personal opinion, but I like the Macleod Claymore because of length. It is heavy, so it makes for a good upper body workout.
Alternate answer:
there is no "best" sword. every sword design is a compromise. A renaissance era Rapier is excellent at thrusting stabbing attacks, but fragile and easily broken. a two-handed sword is able to cleave through things with terrifying power, but is heavy, tiring and bulky, a medieval longsword, or falchion likewise have advantages and disadvantages.
Furthermore, even with general types, an individual sword might feel fantastic, balanced with poise, and another might feel dead, blade-heavy and uncomfortable.
So the answer to what is best, is "what you like the most" - and that might be completely different to what someone else might think, on given the exact same sword.
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.
This is a complicated question to answer as there were many types of swords and each one was used differently. Most people think swords were used for slashing, like swinging a baseball bat. That is one way to use it. The Romans specialized in the use of a short sword that was used for thrusting and NOT slashing. Swords used in duels in the 17th century were long and thin and sword fights became an art form---similiar to the style seen in the Olympic Games. The Knights had large swords that were handled with two hands. Some could be gripped on the blade near the handle. They fought with them much like you would use a staff. Cavalry sabers were sometimes used for slashing in a charge. But many were held with the blade facing UP while in a horse charge so that they cold stab their target and left it fall below them as the swung it back up into position for next victim.

Never just look at one site to buy a sword. First pick your brand/manufacturer. You should only buy hand forged swords if you want good quality, and the price will surprise you. Some of the quality brands are: CAS Hanwei, Darksword, Cheness, Legacy Arms, Global Gear, Dapeeka, Windlass, and Dapeeka. These are the ones with the best quality at good prices.
Once you know the brand choose your seller. Compare prices and don't be afraid to haggle some. I have my obvious preference, but the important thing is the manufaturer. I would caution the use of Ebay or Amazon due to sellers often selling flawed weapons as the real deal.
Personally, unless you are a professional, you should not have to spend more than $200-$700 for a quality hand forged sword.
