No not really. You are thinking of the things used by the Romans in the arena fighting. The middle age army used swords, pitchforks, and many different types of farm equipment that could be sharpened or modified. Archers were also used and prized as fighting men. The reason the farm equipment was used is that about 80% of the men fighting were surfs and peasants and they used what they had. One or two may have fashioned a flails, but it wouldn't have been used that much. A horseman would have better use for it while riding.
