The Pike



The pike is a thrusting spear and pole weapon. It is one of the

longest of the pole weapons and could be as long as twenty feet.

It was typically made of an iron spear point mounted onto a wooden pole.

Pikes were used against enemies on foot and enemies that were mounted on horses. It was very effective in a formation where a group of pikemen could all extend their pikes forming a soft of barricade like the quills of a porcupine.

It continued to be used throughout the middle ages until around the the beginning of the 18th century.
