Dagger Against Longer Weapons | Dark Souls Rolling?

How to defend against a spear thrust with a staff and a dagger? What to do if you only have two "cudgels" (i.e. wooden branches) and are attacked by a spearman? Is there any chance to ward off a longsword attack with just a dagger? The late 14th century Italian knight and fencing master Fiore de'i Liberi has some answers that my HEMA instructor Erik Bailey and I demonstrate and comment on in this video.
