How did people carry large two-handed swords?

One of those recurring questions - how to wear / carry something like a claymore or two-handed greatsword? The Hollywood Fantasy style back sheath is popular but not practical, so how did they do it in history? The answer is pretty simple actually. Historical depictions of Landsknecht as well as Gallowglass mercenaries show the sword in hand and resting on the shoulder. They may also have transported them on carts or horses, which makes sense as those are primarily battlefield weapons. Want to help fund future videos?
