Medieval Halberd MARTO

Medieval halberd with wooden shaft

Halberd, a polearm with a wooden shaft about two metres long, which has a spearhead as an upper breastplate on its "weapons head", a transverse blade shaped like an axe blade on one side, and another smaller spiked or hooked breastplate on the opposite side.

Used in China since time immemorial, although its medieval form was introduced into Europe around 1300 by the Germans and Scandinavians. Its popularity came from the hands of Swiss mercenaries. It was used with great success as an infantry weapon from the end of the Middle Ages facing troops with heavy cavalry.

Many troops or elite corps of the nobility carried it in "ostentatious" versions. Today, the Royal Spanish Halberdier Guards or the Vatican Swiss Guard use this weapon not only ceremonially, but are also trained to use it as a combat weapon.
