Osprey toujours, au sujet des armes utilisees a l'epoque :
(...) 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.
La description est suffisamment generale pour qu'on puisse imaginer differents aspects, le cout est surement l'argument principal, cela permet d'equiper les troupes a bas prix.
Quelques lignes plus loin l'auteur aborde les armes de siege et site la bataille de Mons-en-Pevele :
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.
En somme, que du bonheur pour les futurs scenarios
