Abstract:
Examines the chronology of the various types of halberd in Europe with particular attention to those from the Iberian Peninsula. An older substrate of halberds is identified which originates in Ireland and Great Britain. From there the design of the Breaghwy type was distributed to the continent, where the idea and the design were soon imitated in the form of the Rouans, Carrapatas and Variant 6 continental types. The success of the idea of the halberd is explained by its high prestige character.
