False. A longsword is NOT and never has been a one-handed sword. They are exclusively two-handed weapons. A lot of the time a two-handed sword is falsely called a greatsword when that really depends on length and weight. The actual correct term for his sword would be an arming sword, straight sword, or simply one-handed sword. There's a weapon called a bastard sword (or hand and a half sword) that is between an arming sword and a longsword and it was specifically made because a longsword can't be effectively used in one hand and an arming sword lacked power.
