Blunt weapons came into common use due to plate armors which were commonly worn by nobility on the battlefields. Lighter weapons such as short swords usually could not puncture or crush plate armors effectively, so heavier blunt weapons or spiked weapons such as the crowbill, war hammer, and morning star came into common use. Although designed to be used against those in plate or chainmail armor, the weapons are still very effective against those who are not.
