The espada ropera was a sword developed in the mid-15th century in Spain. The name referred to swords worn by civilians, as opposed for those meant for battlefield use. Compared to earlier swords, the espada ropera was lighter, thinner, and more ornate. It was first mentioned in an inventory of Don Álvaro de Zúñiga in 1468.
The espada ropera (lit. "dress sword") was the forerunner of, and in Spain a contemporary of, the rapier. The French term espee rapiere is a derivative of espada ropera. The espada ropera distinguishes itself from the rapier[dubious – discuss] in that its blade, though thin, could be used to make effective cuts. Modern tests have shown it capable of cutting cleanly through a pig. These swords were manufactured in Toledo.
It is a sword that stands between a Baroque period rapier and a late medieval arming sword and it is also considered to be the starting point of the light-blade lineage. The espada ropera has a cross-guard and despite the fact that the sword is narrowed it maintains an effective cutting edge.
