Description
Pikemen were infantry soldiers armed with long spears called pikes, which typically measured between 12 to 20 feet in length. They played a prominent role in European warfare during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, particularly from the 15th to the 17th centuries. Pikemen were organized into dense formations known as pike squares or pike formations, where they would wield their pikes in a defensive manner to repel cavalry charges and enemy infantry. This tactic, known as the pike square, provided mutual protection for the pikemen and made them formidable against enemy attacks.
