Medieval Polearms
December 3rd, 2009
I have been tinkering with the idea of a compendium of medieval weapons and yesterday I finally started working on it. It just seems like it would be a fun project to undertake and it will be interesting to see how many weapons I can get into it. The first section is on Polearms from the middle ages and I have spent two days now drawing sketches and researching just the polearms.
The history and development of polearms is pretty interesting and it is of course logical to see how they morphed over the centuries and how they were often adaptatations of farming tools - at least in the early centuries.
Well, if you are interested in polearms or medieval weapons in general hop on over to my medieval site and check out the new section on Medieval Polearms.
