RanseurA ranseur(also called a runka or a rawcon) was a type of polearm used across Europe up to the 15th century. It was still seen in court as a ceremonial weapon through the 17th century. Being a derivation of the earlier spetum, the head of a ranseur was composed of a spear-tip affixed with a cross hilt at its base. Often times this hilt was crescent shaped, giving it an appearance similar to a trident. Generally, the hilts did not have a cutting edge, unlike the double edged partisan.
