The halberd, a formidable weapon of the medieval era, has left its mark on history through various depictions and events. In an English color engraving from 1797, we witness Robert I of Scotland, also known as Robert the Bruce, holding a halberd with strength and determination. This portrayal showcases the significance of this weapon in battles fought during his reign. Moving forward to France in the late 16th century, Father Joseph is depicted in his religious attire while clutching a halberd. The juxtaposition between spirituality and weaponry highlights the multifaceted nature of individuals during that time. In another artwork by Sir Godfrey Kneller, Baronet (1646-1723), Anthony Payne - famously known as "The Cornish Giant" - stands tall with a halberd by his side. This representation emphasizes both his physical prowess and military background. A set of thirteen Apostles Spoons from 1626 features intricate engravings depicting apostles holding halberds. These spoons serve as a testament to how even everyday objects were adorned with symbols representing power and authority. The Battle of Towton in 1461 is captured in another depiction where soldiers brandish their deadly halberds amidst fierce combat. This battle was one of the largest ever fought on British soil and demonstrates how crucial these weapons were for success on the battlefield. Military habits from the 15th and 16th centuries are showcased through colored engravings that highlight soldiers equipped with halberds. These illustrations provide insight into how warriors dressed during this period while emphasizing their reliance on such versatile weapons. Prince Rupert's role as commander during England's Civil War is immortalized through various portrayals showing him wielding a mighty halberd alongside other arms. His strategic leadership combined with this powerful weapon made him an influential figure during those turbulent times.
