Pollaxe
The pollaxe is a type of European polearm which was very popular for foot combat during medieval times. It went by other terms such as poll-axe, pole axe, polax, or Hache (French meaning axe); however the accepted term is pollaxe from old English "head axe". Sometimes weapons such as the bardiche or the Danish axe are mistakenly called pole axe as they are indeed axes mounted on poles.
