SP - General Keeping your weapons in a Lord's hall

[Maelubiyet]

You get to keep your weapons in a Lord's hall even if you just met him. Feels an unlikely practice for the era. Maybe it was overlooked?

It varied with period and culture, but generally it was expected that a nobleman wear a sword as part of his dress. I'd be surprised if nobles weren't allowed to wear a sword in another noble's hall, in a classic medieval context. Although, I've encountered mention of some northern cultures (for example) requiring everyone to leave their weapons at the door. But in this type of great hall, the door would be visible from the table, not be in another room. Also, the host would follow this rule as well.
