Many types of maces were used in Medieval times. All differed in design and quality of workmanship(see final image in listing), but had in common that they used a combination of blunt-force and puncture attack to kill, wound, orincapacitatethe enemy.There were well crafted military typesutilizedby professional soldiers and knights that were made by skilled weapon smiths, as well as the simpler type made with wood hand-cut by militia or common soldiers and then fitted with nails and spikes made by the local blacksmith, often reinforced by metal bands.

The mace is one of the earliest weapons. They first appeared in the Late Stone Age and were developed from the simple club by adding sharp spikes of flint or obsidian. They experienced a resurgence in Medieval times as swords proved ineffectual against improvements in armor, and they were in use as late as World War I in trench warfare, the British referred to them as a \'knobkerry\'.
