Gudendag Weapon

 

Weapons



The gudendag has its origins when many Flemish peasants wanted to join the army but couldn't because of a lack of weaponry.

It was then when the gudendag, meaning "Good Day" was invented by the 'discovery' of a regular peasant hammer being useful against armored soldiers.

It was then when most peasants fought for their rights because of more available weaponry. It is obvious, however; that even though a gudendag could be seemingly useful against an armored knight, a sword was much stronger.

Gudendags were greatly transformed throughout the centuries and they had spikes or other metal objects adhered to them in order to make them deadlier.

Gudendags were used during the Roman Times as well, but most people attribute them to the Dark Ages.
