As plate armour became sturdier, the sword became increasingly ineffective against a fully armed knight. Hammers, axes and maces soon became the mounted knight's weapons of choice for close combat. The war hammer developed rapidly and became one of the most important weapons. It was generally lighter and faster than a mace. It was often made slightly longer to increase reach, but was also shortened if necessary.



This war hammer is a successful replica based on a piece in a private collection.
