Bastard Sword: Also known as the hand-and-a-half sword, the bastard sword derives its name from the fact that it is halfway between the two-handed sword and the long sword. The bastard sword has a double-edged blade and a long grip. The overall length of the bastard sword ranges between four feet and four feet ten inches.
The Two-handed and Bastard swords are very much alike. Besides the size of the blade and hilt. Both swords are made from two blades and are derived from the Long sword. In the end, I think you may have gotten the two definitions mixed in together.
