☑ Required Answer-

The Lance is a type of pole weapon commonly used during classical and medieval warfare for cavalry charges. Unlike the javelin or pike, the lance was unsuited for throwing or for repeated thrusting. They were usually equipped with a small circular plate to prevent the hand from sliding up the shaft upon impact.

The use of lances was widespread in Europe and throughout Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. They were made of wood, usually ash, with a metal tip in iron or steel.

Because the lance would not always survive the initial impact intact, it was frequently complimented by melee weapons such as swords, axes, hammers, or maces.

There are two types of lance: heavy (frequently used to unhorse a rider in jousting) and light (used more like a spear or projectile from horseback).

Types of Lances

Although originally (before the 16th century) lances were knows as light throwing spears or javelins, the term came to refer specifically to spears not thrown – particularly used in jousting and by heavy cavalry.

There are two types of lance: heavy (frequently used to unhorse a rider in jousting) and light (used more like a spear or projectile from horseback).

Often over three meters long, jousting lances were a variation of the knight’s lance, modified so that the tip would usually be blunt and spread out like a cup or furniture foot. This provided a wider impact surface designed to unseat the opposing rider rather than impaling him. It was also common for the shafts of lances to be hollow for lances to break on impact.
