Lets see shall we

Close range: The mace is certainly the stronger of the two and will definatly do the more damage but the war hammer is able to not only bash in skulls and break bones but the sharp back can be used to stab giving it slightly more versatility. However neither of these two really have much of an edge over the other so I am going to call this one even. Edge Even 

Mid Range(Swords): The rapier, while shorter than the longsword, can be used much more quickly and fluently and in the hands of an expert it would be very hard for an opponent to land a blow. However the longsword does have the length advantage and can be swung with more power and do more damage than the rapier. Richard's armour will make getting a kill with the rapier quite difficult where as the long sword will have much less trouble getting through the armour of bruce. Edge Richard the Lionheart
