Tb% HoIberl.

The distinctive weapon Of the Swiss
was the halberd, which was their prin-
ripal weapon at Morgarten and Lau-
Den. II Is curious to note how the Teu-
tonic nations. even to this day, prefer
The cut and the Latin nations the point.
We have been told by German officers
ghat when the German and French cav
airy met in the war Of 1870 the Ger
man sword blades always flashed yer
ljcallv over their heads, while the
French darted In and out horizontally
In a succession Of thrusts. Even the
German dead lay In whole ranks with
their swords at arms length. 80 the
English at Hastings worked havoc
with their battleaxes. The Netheriand
mercenaries carried a hewing weapon
nt Bouvines. The Flemings at Courtrai
used their godendags fitted alike ooth
for cut and thrust, and finally the
Swiss made play with their halberds,
I'm improvement on the godendag.
The halberds had a point for thrust
ing a hook wherewlth to pull men
from the saddle and above all broad
heavy blade, most terrific weapons
(yalde terribllia). to use the words or
John Of Winterthur, "cleaving men
asunder like wedge and cutting them

how such n blade at the end OF an
