Mercenary Big Axes
In the hands of the trained, or indeed the psychotically violent, the axe is formidable indeed.Although the vast majority of Germanic warriors fought with spears - even as the Middle Ages dawned - the axe became more and more prevalent due to its effectiveness in penetrating the heavier types of armour of the period. In comparison to swords, axes were cheap to make, could be used to pull aside or split shields, and were effective against plate or chainmail armour as, even if it didn't find the optimum angle to split it, a blow could still shatter bones and crush the organs beneath. One-handed axes may have been the most practical to carry and use, but two-handed axes were also common - the bearer requiring great upper-body strength to pick the weapon up and swing it repeatedly in combat.
