Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?

Are those called flails? I’ve always assumed if a word is the same in french and german, it must be the same in English. I thought they would be called morgenstern or maybe morning star.

Although commonly called “Morgenstern” in German, they’re technically called “(Streit-)Flegel”, so “flail” in both English and German.
“Morning star”/“Morgenstern” refers to a spiky ball on a club without any chain.

Is this different than “mace” because a mace doesn’t have to be spiky?
