King Athelstan

== King Athelstan ==

King Athelstan (895 - 939) was grandson to Alfred the Great, son of Edward the Elder, and was the first true king to all of England. He reigned between 925 and 939.

King Athelstan was a shrewd ruler. Though outmatched, he won the [[Battle of Brunanburh]] through cunning offers and the help of [[Egil]] and his brother, Thorolf. After the battle, he gave presents to [[Egil]] to take back to his father as compensation for the death of Thorolf, who died after being ambushed by Earl Adils during the battle.

Images and statues of King Athelstan can be seen [http://www.nashfordpublishing.co.uk/monarchs/athelstan.html/ here].

Halberd and other weapons

== Halberd and Other Weapons ==

A halberd, sometimes called a vouge, is a two-handed pole-style weapon. The shaft of the spear was made of wood and the head was made of iron. It was used as a thrusting spear as well as in hand-to-hand combat. Thorolf, Egil's brother used this type of weapon in battle, but the shaft of his was bound with iron. in _Egil's Saga_, the halberd is "a thrusting spear" with "edges tapering to a point at one end, broad at the other" (125). Egil plunges the halberd point first in Hring's chest and then turns the spear over and crushes him.

Javelins were used for close combat and in horse fighting. They were held under the shoulder.
throwing axes

Protective gear, such as helmets, chain mail, and shields are described in the poems. The helmet was styled after Roman helmets.

Some pictures and additional information on the medieval halberd can be seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halberd/ here].
