A medieval lance is a long, pointed weapon used primarily by cavalry during the Middle Ages. Designed for mounted combat, it typically measures between 10 to 14 feet in length and features a wooden shaft with a metal tip for penetrating armor. Lances were often employed in jousting tournaments as well as in battle, where they allowed knights to charge at enemies with significant force. Their design evolved over time to enhance both reach and effectiveness in combat situations.
