Product description

The weapon known as the war flail developed in the 12th century from the peasant threshing flail and remained in use until the 17th century. This medieval weapon is often, though incorrectly, called a morning star, especially the variant where the head is connected to the handle by a chain (ball-and-chain flail).

The medieval war flail was a shorter weapon consisting of a wooden handle connected by a chain, rope, or leather strap to one or more striking heads. Variants such as the kisten—sometimes smooth, sometimes spiked—spread from Eastern Europe to the West from the 10th century onward. Illustrations from the 15th to 17th centuries show both large two-handed flails and shorter one-handed versions. Well-known examples can be seen in the painting Battle of Orsha (1520–1534), in The Travels of Marco Polo (c. 1410), and in the military treatise Bellifortis (c. 1450).

This replica war flail features 2 stars and is a fine addition to any medieval collection.
