==Trivia==
*Historically, the Schiavona was a late form of broadsword developed during the 16th century. Its use grew quite popularly over the next few decades, and the Schiavona and other basket-hilted swords of its kind were wielded extensively throughout Renaissance Italy.
*The name descends from their use by the Balkan mercenaries who served as bodyguards to the Doge of Venice. The mercenary groups consisted largely of Istrian and Dalmatian {{Wiki|South Slavs|Slavs}}, known under the term ''Schiavoni'', hence the name.
*The schiavona could be obtained in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' through [[Ubisoft Club|Uplay]].
*The only difference between the Cinquedea and the Schiavona in [[Assassin's Creed: Unity]] are their appearances and looks, since their stats are identical, though the Schiavona is much more expensive than the Cinquedea.
