A Morning Star actually is a bronze or iron ball with 12-15 sharpened spikes on it. It has a wooden handle attached to the ball. So it is more of a club or in a more accurate term ... a spiked Mace. They did NOT have chains in them - that would be a Flail.

A mace is a straight club weapon with a fixed head, while a morning star consists of a spiked ball chained to a wooden handle.Anadditionalanswer: The basic answer here is correct, a mace isbasicallya metal headed club, and the morning starenhancesthis weapon with the presence of spikes.The more complex part of this answer is the question of the chain. Therecertainlywere flail weapons in the middle ages, but the striking end was typically a second sorter length of wood, perhapsreinforced by some metal. This weapon was derived from agricultural filesusedto thresh grain. The chain lets the end of the weapon snap around at the end of the swing, moving faster than the end of the handle section of the weapon, and thus deliver more energy that simply striking with a staff or club. The "spiked ball and chain" version was likely less common, although some extant version do exist.
