-A voulge, also spelled vouge and sometimes called a couteau de breche, is a type of polearm that existed in medieval Europe, primarily in 15th century France. A voulge usually had a narrow single-edged blade mounted on a shaft via socket, and might additionally feature shaft reinforcements protection for the hands at the blade's base. The voulge has a somewhat broader blade compared to that of a [[glaive]], and features a shorter blade and longer shafter compared to the [[bardiche]]. Troops that used the weapon are called voulgiers, with the most notable ones being the Francs-Archers ("free archers"): they were the first attempt at the formation of regular infantry in France, and voulges are depicted in the artwork of their establishment.

 In modern times, the voulge is erroneously defined as a pointy cleaver-like weapon blade attached to the shaft with two hoops akin to a bardiche - this incorrect definition started in the 19th century with Viollet le Duc, and the weapon in question is an early form of [[halberd]].
