| has gloss | eng: A ranseur (also called a runkah or a rawcon [sometimes incorrectly referred to as rawcuer]) was a type of polearm used across Europe up to the 15th century. It was still seen in court as a ceremonial weapon through the 17th century. Often thought to be a derivation of the earlier spetum, the head of a ranseur was composed of a spear-tip affixed with a cross hilt at its base. Often this hilt was crescent-shaped, giving it an appearance similar to that of a trident. Generally, the hilts did not have a cutting edge, unlike the double-edged partisan. Thus Ransuers resemble a Japanese Sai mounted on a staff. Ranseurs are generally 6 feet or longer. |
