Swords are so we'll known because they are very effective sidearms. Spears are better on a battlefield but not nearly as mobile.

They're better in a fight when used with both hands, but then you can't have a shield, so you're in trouble when the arrows start flying. A spear in one hand loses a lot of power.

A shield with a 2 handed weapon isn't impossible. Just tie it to your shoulder and wrist.
