	Battle axe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the eastern Mediterranean the double-bladed labrys was known, and the sagaris, described sometimes as single-bladed, sometimes as double-bladed, became associated with the Amazons.
		Battle axes were also common in Northern Europe in the "Viking Age" (9th and 10th C) and up to the 16 Century, see Viking Age arms and armour.
		Most medieval European battle axes had broad, socketed heads (meaning that the axe head has an opening into which the haft is inserted.), and some included long strips of metal (langets) along the haft to prevent the haft from being damaged during battle.

	Danish axe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally used by the Northmen in Viking times, the Danish axe was a modification of a woodsman's axe that made it an amazingly effective weapon of war.
		The shaft of the axe was usually between 4 and 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) long, and quite heavy.
		The axes used by the Huscarl bodyguards of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, though relatively small, showed the power of this weapon.

		The axe or ax is an ancient and ubiquitous tool that has been used for millennia to shape, split and cut wood, harvest timber, as a weapon and a ceremonial or heraldic symbol.
		A thrown axe could keep off a hailstorm, sometimes an axe was placed in the crops, with the cutting edge to the skies to protect the harvest against bad weather.
		Antique axes and their modern reproductions, like the tomahawk, often had a simple, straight haft with a circular cross-section that wedged onto the axe-head without the aid of wedges or pins.

		The Viking Throwing Axe was a light axe borrowed from the Frank’s War with the Romans, when the Franks employed the weapon successfully both as a projectile and at close-quarters.
		The smaller axes are sized to be carried thrust through a belt, to serve as a backup weapon and being one-handed, they were used in combination with a shield.
		The Mammen Axe, one of the best-known and best-decorated examples of the small Viking throwing axe, is a perfect example of the Viking’s blend of art and war.

	Danish or English Long Axe as used by the Huscarls
		The long axe was the main weapon, and the Guard used them with great effect, even against the Normans when they took part in the Crusades.
		Whilst the long axe in the style of the Huscarls went out of use in English armies, it survived in the form of pole axe and bill until the mass introduction of firearms.
		The axe head is quite light, but the ash haft heavy, this give the axe a natural tendance to fall.

	Sword Forum International - Test cutting with Arms & Armor's Danish Axe
		The axe had a fearsome reputation on the medieval battlefield, for the wounds it could inflict.
		Against this tube, the axe simply punted it across the parking lot -- a combination of the light, free-standing target with the thicker edge of the axe (as compared with a sword).
		The martial use of axe vs. sword is a whole 'nuther discussion -- the sword no doubt being the more versatile weapon -- but the raw power of the axe is very impressive.

		A bardiche or long poleaxe is a type of polearm that was used during times of war in medieval Europe.
		While the blade was very long for an axe (usually over 2 feet) the shaft was one of the shortest of all polearms; rarely did it exceed 5 feet in length.
		This makes the bardiche more similar to the Danish axe in some respects that a true polearm.

	SparkNotes: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: Part 4 (lines 1998–2531)
		The axe that the Green Knight is sharpening when Gawain finds him is evidence of the knight’s contrast to the courtly tradition from which Gawain comes.
		At Camelot, the knight’s axe is described at length, and in the forest, we discover that the Green Knight possesses a new Danish axe that replaces the one Gawain and Arthur hung up in the hall at Camelot.
		Originally associated with the Vikings, the presence of the Danish war axe aligns the Green Knight with a regime that is older than the one Gawain’s lance represents.

	Swiss, Zurich - Broad Halberd (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The development of the Halberd: The term 'halberd', like the weapon, is Swiss in origin; it is first found as 'hellembart' in a poem by Konrad von Wurzburg, who died in 1287.
		The hallberd, seemingly a cross between a spear and a billhook, is more likely the development of the long-handled 'Danish' Axe shown in the Bayeux Tapestry.
		In some later forms, this big-headed, five- foot-hafted axe (called in England a Sparth) had the lower extremity of its edge prolonged and curled around the haft to produce what was in effect a secondary, reinforced socket.

		Although women are not normally associated with warfare, Mildthryth is feared for her ability with the Danish Axe, which she swings with a dexterity which more than compensates for any lack of strength which some might expect from a woman.
