>>40061868idk what to tell you, sure he doesn't have a horse but the way the he's holding it as well as its relative size clearly indicate it's a lance, no sword would be that big
and a polearm held in one hand that you charge at people with can only be a cavalry lance, a foot soldier weapon like a pike would be held in two hands, and swordfighting is not done by holding it in front of you and running at people
you can argue how much you want but it's a lance, not a sword
