In Morrowind the Battlemage class used heavy armour, magic, and when mana ran out switched to weapons (axe or longsword were the two weapon skills I believe). Never made a Spellsword class.

My definitions are usually that the Battlemage wears heavy armour and tanks it, and switches to weapons when he runs out of mana; the Spellsword can wear either heavy or light armour, and used a sword in one hand/a spell (mostly Destruction) in the other. In the games where you couldn't dual wield, they would switch between them as needed.
