A ranseur (also called a runkah or a rawcon) was a type of polearm used across Europe up to the 15th century. The head of a ranseur was composed of a spear-tip affixed with a cross hilt at its base. Often this hilt was crescent-shaped, giving it an appearance similar to that of a trident. Generally, the hilts did not have a cutting edge, unlike the double-edged partisan. Thus Ransuers resemble a sai mounted on a staff. Ranseurs are generally 6 feet or longer.
