There's a fine distinguishable line between the various European sword types. Both a claymore and a bastard sword, along with greatswords and broad swords fall into the category of "longsword," however Claymores and greatswords are typically two-handed, while bastard swords are "hand-and a-half swords" They are referred to as bastard swords because they are slightly longer then one handed longswords such as the broad sword but shorter then a full two handed sword. The link you posted is either erroneous, or referring to a specialty sword, or simply a modernized version of an ancient weapon meant to sound impressive.

I don't care. How about I just beat you in the face with a war hammer instead? Lol.
