Could you give us a time Period at all?

The medieval period is a long era of History also a location?

It will helps us narrow down your answer.

I'm seeing a lot of supposition thrown around in here, but not a lot of hard evidence. Let's try something a bit more grounded in the sources.

Henry II, King of England and ruler of the Angevin Empire, published a proclamation in 1181 called the Assize of Arms. In this, he states, among other things, the arms that men of different classes should possess.

1. Whoever possesses one knight's fee shall have a shirt of mail, a helmet, a shield, and a lance; and every knight shall have as many shirts of mail, helmets, shields, and lances as he possesses knight's fees in demesne.

2. Moreover, every free layman who possesses chattels or rents to the value of 16m. shall have a shirt of mail, a helmet, a shield, and a lance; and every free layman possessing chattels or rents to the value of 10m. shall have a hauberk, an iron cap, and a lance.

3. Item, all burgesses and the whole community of freemen shall have [each] a gambeson, an iron cap, and a lance.

From this, we see that the lance (I would say spear) was the predominant weapon of all classes in late 12th century England, or at least the only one to be required of all of them. It is a matter of conjecture to what degree swords were carried; probably the knights and wealthier freemen carried them. The main thing one notices is that the poorest are expected to have only arms and padded armor, while the wealthier are expected to provide metal armor and, in the case of the wealthiest, a horse as well; these would be probably the two most expensive pieces of war-gear to acquire.
