Hervé tu m'avais indiqué que c'était un genre de casse-tête (un jour je vous raconterait comment un type d'Afrique de l'est avec l'air menaçant à commencé à s'en prendre à la carrosserie de la jeep avec l'instrument en question...)
Bref, puis j'ai jeté un oeil sur l'encyclopédie de Viollet le Duc... et on dirait une vouge...
Je suis perdu moi !
The fame of the Flemings in siege warfare had been known for centuries, but they were also developing effective tactics in open battle. Flemish pikement supported by men wielding goedendags, massive wooden maces, certainly came into their own in the early 14th century by overthrowing the pride of French chivalry at the battle of Courtai. The goedendag, though mostly associated with Flemish cities like Brugge and Gent, was also used in northern France
(...) the late 13th-14th century goedendag, primarily a Flemish infantry weapon, had a spiked head set in massive wooden shaft, perhaps designed to injure horses as much as their riders. It was clearly very cheap and was abailable to anyone; those made in Gent in 1304 cost only one-tenth of a shield, which was itself among the cheapest items of equipment.
Other bulkier siege engines could also be used in the open against a static foe, as te French did against immobile Flemish infantry at the battle of Mons-en-Pevele in 1304. The terrifying espringal, which shot a massive bolt or arrow, was also used by the French aboard Meuse river-craft the same year.
