The development of
the Halberd: The
term 'halberd', like
the weapon, is Swiss
in origin; it is
first found
as 'hellembart' in a
poem by Konrad von
Wurzburg, who died in
1287. The hallberd,
seemingly a cross
between a spear and a
billhook, is more
likely the
development of the
long-handled 'Danish'
Axe shown in the
Bayeux Tapestry. In
some later forms,
this big-headed, five-
foot-hafted axe
(called in England a
Sparth) had the lower
extremity of its edge
prolonged and curled
around the haft to
produce what was in
effect a secondary,
reinforced socket.
Pole length:72";
