Axes....

<< < (2/2)

Sir Griff:
Speaking from a quantity viewpoint, I'm sure axes outnumbered swords since swords were pretty exclusive weapons. Yes, pollaxes and various other polearms were the main weapon for your average soldier, but as a side-arm, daggers, axes and knives were much more common than swords.

Dragonlover:
Actually, war-hammers were used quite extensively in the period era of full plate.
Several battles during the War of the Roses were documented as victims having their
skulls staved in. No finesse, just wade in swinging, I suppose...... :o

Sir Wolf:
i still doubt it on the axes. there arent that many finds to support it. i would say spear heads and then the bows/arrows
