Burgundy the country might of been rich, however it was an ugly abomination on the map with shit like noncontinuous land. Map Aesthetics are more important than Cultural and Linguistic divides. France's Natural Border is the L E F T B A N K O F T H E R H I N E

Every cunt in Europe during the 15th century had border gore, this is no argument.

t. salty Frenchie

Do you guys think he was quickly killed in battle, or did the Swiss play games with him, like they did with Stuessi? Like cutting his belly fat out while he is still alive and shining their boots with it? Or ripping him a new asshole and then fucking said hole?
I really wonder if they let him go lightly.

also, id you know that the French made best efforts to start this war between Burgundy and the Swiss? The French used Bern as their proxy to provoke the war and they took all of the spoils.

Actually its unlikely that the axe part was used to kill him as Halbergs weren't used as an axe weapon but more like a spear.

>>2581531
Why would the French be salty? Arent they the ones that won in the end?

>>2584658
yeah well, his head was split in two from top down to the chin.
So go fuck yourself and your theories.

I'm pretty sure it was used however the guy using it felt.

Richard III was also believed to be killed by being axed with a halberd, so whatfor now DingyBarge?

Christ, that video irked me so much.

Early Swiss halberd heads were basically voulges, meaning they had big nasty cutting edges. Halberds at their zenith also had relatively short spikes, although variations always exist.

Fundamentally we have to remember there was no detailed, standardised pattern for them. There were trends and individual preferences, so it's obvious that different halberds were made with different priorities in mind.

They used the Swiss as their personal goons for almost 4 centuries.

There are people on /his/ right now that take Lindybeige seriously.

How does one manage to lose against some hillbillies with Europeans most modern army?

>>2580009
Left bank of the Meuse and the Seone you mean.

>>2587999
Because the hillibillies were very modern too.

Generally the front ranks were really well equipped even in "peasant" armies.

>>2588115
I like your OC, here is a pic of a late 15th century Swiss halberd, just to keep things real.

>>2588085
Still a feat to lose with such superiority of arms.
