Archaeologists when studying the sword noticed that it did not have any damage that caused the owner to leave. Maybe this sword was dropped or lost when the owner brought it across the swamp, or fell off the boat if the swamp was a large lake in the 14th century.

In an extreme case, the knight may have sunk into the swamp with his sword, and museum archaeologists are conducting expeditions in the area in hopes of finding more evidence to support That hypothesis.
