That's sort of what I was wondering. Though when I think about it, while using historical sport/duelling manuals to inform your fantasy RPG doesn't mean you have "realistic combat", it's still more grounded in reality than using pure fantasy tropes, so can definitely add a sense of verisimilitude to a setting.

One thing I always wonder is how pragmatic and accurate those historical swordfighting guides actually were. Like, did they reflect real experience and wisdom in battle, or the speculations of some rich bugger playing with swords who could hire a scribe to write everything down as if it were established fact? Or even just advice for an upper class sport or a somewhat ritualised form of duel - advice that might not really carry over to a pitched battle?
