Citation for Ranseur and Roncone being equivalent?
[edit]As far as I've been able to find, a roncone is an Italian Bill, I haven't found anything that indicates a roncone is related to a ranseur. Taxonomy for polearms is notoriously difficult so can we get a citation to keep track of the terms we're using or else remove the reference to roncone?

Infantry or cavalry too?
[edit]Worldbuilding related minor question... Was the ranseur only infantry, or could it be used on horse, like a spear, to charge and all? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.163.21.122 (talk) 22:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- Almost certainly infantry only. Theblindsage (talk) 09:05, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
One of these things is not like the other...
[edit]The rightmost 'ranseur' in the pic is very clearly a different weapon. Theblindsage (talk) 09:05, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Handy guide to knowing your pole-arm!

Not a partisan
[edit]The Partisan is basically a sword on a pole. The Spiedo is the trident looking thing in the four illustrations.
In usage, the shorter blade of the spiedo is considered to be ineffective in cutting. Meanwhile the partisan was used to take down pikes. See the 16th century author di Grassi for more. 24.43.26.34 (talk) 03:38, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
