Okay, I'll throw a curveball here. Longsword.
Who said they were slow or heavy? If we are talking about the same longsword here, the weapon is held in two hands and weighs 2-3 pounds. Believe me, I've held one. Since you use two hands, you can swing it reasonably fast, and still very powerfully. There was no "greatsword", since a giant 100 pound 8 foot blade would be useless in combat.
Longswords RULE.
