Goedendag

The goedendag was a weapon originally used by the militias of medieval Flanders in the fourteenth century, essentially combining a club with a spear in a wooden staff roughly 90 to 150 centimeters long and 5 to 10 centimeters in diameter, widened at one end where a sharp metal spike was set into a tang. It was used to great effect by the guildsmen of Flanders' wealthy cities against French knights at the Battle of the Golden Spurs near Kortrijk on 11 July 1302, and it appears in contemporary depictions of the battle including carvings on the fourteenth-century Courtrai Chest.
