The Halberd: A Versatile Medieval Polearm
The halberd is a two-handed pole weapon that emerged as a battlefield staple in the 14th and 15th centuries. Combining the slicing force of an axe, the piercing power of a spear, and the grappling ability of a hook, this weapon was instrumental in infantry warfare, particularly for Swiss mercenaries and Landsknecht soldiers.
With a long wooden shaft and a cast metal head, the halberd was effective against cavalry, allowing foot soldiers to counter heavily armored knights. Over time, armies supplemented halberds with pikes, extending their defensive capabilities against advancing forces.
