Even more relevant considering that was the time longswords and the likes fell out of use in favour of side-swords and heavier two handed swords. It was approximately in the Elizabethean era when people generally started calling them as such when it was no longer the weapon you'd see in a battle and rather you'd mostly be seeing pike and shot; so people made up whatever the fuck kind of name they liked.
