What is a 14th century halberd?
sWISS GUARDS OF Pope Ratzinger use them Halberd From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, searchSwedish halberd heads from the 16th centuryHalberdiers from a modern day reenactor troupe.A halberd (also called halbert or Swiss voulge) is a two-handed pole weapon that came to prominent use during the 14th and 15th centuries. Possibly the word halberd comes from the German words Halm (staff), and Barte (axe) - in modern-day German, the weapon is called Hellebarde. The halberd consists of an axe blade topped with a spike mounted on a long shaft. It always has a hook or thorn on the back side of the axe blade for grappling mounted combatants.[1] It is very similar to certain forms of the voulge in design and usage. The halberd was 1.5 to 1.8 metres (5 to 6 feet) long.[2]The halberd was cheap to produce and very versatile in battle. As the halberd was eventually refined, its point was more fully developed to allow it to better deal with spears and pikes (also able to push back approaching horsemen), as was the hook opposite the axe head, which could be used to pull horsemen to the ground.[3]Additionally, halberds were reinforced with metal rims over the shaft, thus making effective weapons for blocking other weapons like swords. This capability increased its effectiveness in battle, and expert halberdiers were as deadly as any other weapon masters.[citation needed] A halberd in the hands of a Swiss peasant was the weapon[4] which killed the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, decisively ending the Burgundian Wars, literally in a single stroke.[5]The halberd was the primary weapon of the early Swiss armies in the 14th and early 15th centuries.[3] Later on, the Swiss added the pike to better repel knightly attacks and roll over enemy infantry formations, with the halberd, hand-and-a-half sword, or the dagger known as the Schweizerdolch being used for closer combat. The German Landsknechte, who imitated Swiss warfare methods, also used the halberd, supplemented by the pike, but their side arm of choice was the short sword known as the Katzbalger.[citation needed]

What did the halberd look like?
A halberd resembles a spear with a large point. Attached to the side of the spear head are an axe-like attachment and a hook. The spear point is used to stab, the axe-head is used to hack, and the hook is used to drag down horsemen or to trip opponents. A Halberd, or also called a Halbert or Halbard, originated in the Middle Ages and continued to be used as a ceremonial weapon. In the 17th & 18th Centuries, it was the sign of a sergeant of infantry, thus some state militia units used them just prior to the American Civil War in 1850s. It was discontinued in the British Army in 1792 and replaced by the Spontoon. A Pike was a long version of the spear. In the British Army the pike was 18 feet long and used to repel cavalry and infantry charges. It was discontinued in the British army during the reign of Queen Anne. It preceeded the Halberd and did not have a axe blade.
