The military flail is a hand weapon in which the handle is attached to the striking part of weapon by a flexible chain or cord.
Throughout the Middle-Ages, agricultural flails were sometimes employed as an improvised weapon by peasant armies conscripted into military service or engaged in popular uprisings.
16th century peasant rebels. For example, in the 1420-1434 period, the Hussites fielded large numbers of peasant foot soldiers armed with flails.
