  1. Crusades:Weapon Museum Kristine Rundorff Megan Thomas Period 2

  2. Hall A This hall includes the crossbow. Please enjoy this hall. Next visit the blunt weapons.

  3. Crossbow • It came about in 1066. • Another name for it was the arbalest. • Good: It was able to be loaded before a battle or skirmish. • Bad: There were numerous misfires after the slow process of loading. • It was extremely difficult to work. • It accomplished much more wrongs than right.

  4. Hall B Come and see the blunt weapons used in the crusades! The next hall includes daggers.

  5. The Club • It is described as the “most crude” weapon ever! • It was mostly utilized by peasants. • It was made out of wood.

  6. Cudgel • It was like the club but innovated on. • There are metal rings where this weapon would hit. • It is much better at stunning than the club.

  7. Maces • These were used to dent the opponent’s armor. • The opponent once hit would feel a lot of pain. • It would especially be painful since the armor would persist pressure onto the opponent’s bones possibly causing them to fracture and/or break.

  8. Ball and Chain • Another name: Morning star. • As one can predict, to use with good effect, one must swing it in order to strike with quality momentum and brutally injure the enemy.

  9. War Hammer • Since it was expensive, only the wealthy (the nobles) could afford it. • The flat side could dent the armor and inflict it like the maces. • The other side (in this picture the right side) would be used for moving through the armor to wound the opponent there.

  10. Hall C Come and check out these cool daggers! Next hall includes Christian weapons.

  11. Daggers • These were not used as the main weapon. • Mostly thieves and assassins used them to do their terrible task of stealing and murdering. • It would be wise to keep one away though to grab if all other options were no longer a choice.

  12. Common Dagger • This model is of a knight. • Other knights would carry the same thing just with various designs on the handle of the dagger.

  13. Stiletto • It came about close to the end of the 1300’s. • Assassins really used this one since it was tiny and a good blade to them.

  14. Hall D Which side are you. This hall includes the Christian weapons. Not a fan of the Christians, come and check it out anyway! Next hall is the Muslim weapons for the other side.

  15. Axes • Bigger better? That’s what the Christians during the crusades thought. • Since the axe design continued to increase in size, two hands were later required to use it.

  16. War Axe • It is a “double edges tool of death”. • It received its name since it could swing from either side and still attack the opponent.

  17. Swords • They were mainly a knight’s weapon. • Nobody else would be able to afford them if they were beneath a knight on the feudal system. • Of course, if a knight could afford one, so could a noble.

  18. Long Sword • It did not come about until near the end of the crusades.

  19. Hall E The Muslim weapons are displayed in this hall. Already visited the Christian’s weapon hall? Come and compare the two.

  20. Sabre • This is an example of what the Muslim’s used. • The Muslim’s had a curve to their weapons. • Thus it gave them a quicker swing and the power to inflict a wound on the enemy (the Christians) more speedy.

  21. Sappara • Here is just another example of a Muslim weapon.

  22. Scimitar • Of course, this one has a curved blade too.

  23. Shamsir • Another weapon used by the Muslims with the curve design.

  24. Tulwar • Another example, check it out!

  25. Tiger Claw • This the secondary type of weaponry on the Muslim side.

  26. Hall F Do you like being tough? The most brutal weapons used are in this hall.

  27. Large Axe • It is named since it was the largest axe during the crusades.

  28. Javelin • This was barely used by the knights.

  29. Lance • It was the Templar's must common weapon.

  30. The Maul • This required the usage of two hands to enable it to really swing at the opponent causing appalling injury.

  31. Exit Thank-you for visiting this crusade museum. The souvenir shop is near the entrance way. Please next time bring another friend to learn about the weapons of the Crusades. Have a good day.
