Richard the Lionheart

YouTube에서 본 사자왕 리처드의 무력에 대한 가장 합리적 설명

Richard the Lionheart favored a two-handed axe, and skeletal examination shows he was 196cm tall with an enormous build.
A two-handed axe is good in brawls, but disadvantageous in battles where formation must be maintained.
There is also the drawback of not being able to carry a shield.
To compensate, heavily armed soldiers with shields would surround Richard and hold formation.
It is presumed that while the shield-bearers blocked and confronted the enemy with their shields, he used his height and heavy weight to strike down with the axe from above.
