La bardiche était une arme particulièrement efficace du fait de sa polyvalence : pas trop longue ni trop lourde, son fer robuste lui permettait de résister au choc de cavalerie lors de la charge, et sa longueur donnait l'avantage de causer de très profondes blessures, voire de tuer sur le coup les chevaux en les décapitant ou en les échinant, et la pointe permettait de transpercer les plates des armures. 1, record 2, French, - bardiche
