Using Wikipedia and my own knowledge, I created this guide for swords. There are multiple variations for each sword (e.g. rapiers may have different hilt styles), however, I should have captured the essence of each sword type in this guide.
There are a lot of older swords that I left off the guide (Ancient Rome and such) since I could not quite categorize them under a certain sword type. If there are any swords I left out, or if there are any inaccuracies, please feel free to point them out and I may add them in a future update.

You're forgetting the Arming Sword (the most common sword between 1100ad and 1600ad ), Messer, Bastard Sword/Hand-And-A-Half Sword (similar to the longsword, but not the same), the other Gladius types, Norse "spatha" / Transitional Period swords (Viking and Gaelic swords), and a number of saber types such as, but not limited to, Polish Szabla, Cavalry Sabers, the Backsword (a sort of precursor to the saber as we know it now), the Shashka, etc.
