Lets see shall we

Short Range

The Kilij does have great cutting power and it's smaller size and the fact that it's a one handed sword makes it easier to manoeuvre. However the Longsword does have that extra foot length and while it may not be as agile in it's usage it makes up for it in it's greater versatility. The Kilij is primarily used as a slashing weapon whereas the Longsword can be used to slash, thrust and cut, giving Godfrey more options and the fact that it's double-sided makes it easier to get a kill with.

Edge: Godfrey of Bouillon 

Mid Range 

Both of these weapons are pretty much exactly the same. Sure Godfrey's has the more damaging bottom end but I doubt it will make that much of a difference.

Edge: Even 

Long Range 

Godfrey's crossbow has the further range and the faster reload time. It's a no brainer really.

Edge: Godfrey of Bouillon 

Special 

This is an intresting match-up. The Hand Cannon gives Vlad another ranged option and a lethal one at that and the spiked club on the end makes it useful in close quarters as well. What it lacks though is reliability due to it's primitive desgin and it could easily misfire. The Knight Star is certainly a very lethal weapon but it's swinging chain makes it hard to control and it's just as easy for the user to harm himself as it is for him to harm the opponent. Both have their flaws but the Hand Cannon's range and multifunctional useage is too much to ignore.

Edge: Vlad the Impaler 

X Factors 

Godfrey of Bouillon has an average of 48.4 whereas Vlad the Impaler has an average of 51.6.

Edge: Vlad the Impaler 

Final Verdict 

This is a close one but i'm going to go with Godfrey of Bouillon. He takes the overall weapons edges with his ranged and melee options being better than Vlad's. Sure he has the Hand Cannon but it's not enough to win the battle on it's own and it's outshined by Godfrey's crossbow anyway. Vlad does have more experiance yes but he was also a great deal less successful and his insanity would greatly effect him in combat and make him more likely to do rash and stupid things which would be punished by the better trained and more skilled Godfrey.

Godfrey of Bouillon: 2,800

Vlad the Impaler: 2,200
