    Very long story...
    In feudal Europe clashes were mostly between knights. Typical European medieval army had 5% of mounted units.

    A Halberd has as curve chopping edge, if wield correctly would be able to chop a man in two. It also has a hook to pull down a rider. It has a pointy tip (sometimes the curve blade's tip serve that purpose). The tip is to thrust into armor's gap or kill the mount.
