Whenever you are looking for info like this, the best bet is to search on Google.
Try this:

(Thanks for the link. That's neat.)
The link, though, seems to only include European weapons and no Asian ones*. So depending on the type of site youre running, you may have to add/subtract some from the list.
*Correct me if I'm wrong

Well the best thing is to 'search' on wikipedia. You'll find links on pages about weapons. They even might have some sort of main page on weapons? Or traditional weapons. Just try to search with words like 'traditional' 'weapons', 'swords', 'bows', 'asian weapons' etc. etc.

Weapon Name: Long Sword
Info: The Long sword is know to be a gentlemens weapon, some one who moved with grace and fights for the good of their people. Also people who fight with such a weapon have a habit of keeping some distances between themself and their attacker.
Weapon Name: Short Handled Axe
Info: The short handled axe is known to be used by brawler's, warroirs who get in clase with their foe and are savage in combat. Warroirs who uses these kinds of weapons normally have a lot of weight behind them, making it easier for them to throw their weight around while in close combat. |

Yes, because "medieval" carries an inherent European qualifier. If you need a list of weapons from other eras and places, do another search. Wikipedia is good that way.
