Amazing and Unique Weapons From the Medieval Times
by Some of the most beautiful and outrageous weapons from the most interesting medieval times. Think about it, maybe King Arthur or the famous and anonymous “Black Knight” used some of these absurd weapons.
The Flanged Mace
The Flanged Mace was a a great close combat weapon in Medieval times. It could smash through the toughest armor when wielded by a horse-mounted knight. As well as being powerful, these weapons were beautiful and extremely detailed as you can see in this picture, there are many engravings in it.
The Trebuchet
The Trebuchet was a siege weapon similar to the catapult. Though this had a different system to it that uses dropping counterweights. It could throw up to three-hundred and fifty pound objects at high speeds into enemy castles. Some times, the user would launch a diseased corpse into the enemies castle and hope it spread disease. This is similar to biological warfare.
The Finger Claws
Handy in close combat, the finger claws could cut someone up or pack a nasty punch. They were good if the wielder was unarmed with a sword such as archers who were only good for fighting long distances. These were a good back up.
