functionary, who treated prisoners more humanely than his predecessors had. The Marquis de Sade, who had been transferred from the Bastille to another prison shortly before 14 July, commented that de Launay was "a so-called marquis whose grandfather was a servant". [14] Bernard - René de Launay From an emotional standpoint, Henry is likely to be the hardest death. He was Carol and Ezekiel’s son, and they’re going to have to grieve while also remaining leaders for the people at the Kingdom. We begin to see that in the sneak peek (above) from the season finale, as Carol admits she only sees Henry when she looks at Lydia. After the fall of the last successor of Macedon, the pike largely fell out of use for the next 1,000 or so years. The one exception to this appears to have been in Germany, where Tacitus recorded Germanic tribesmen in the 2nd century AD as using "over-long spears". He consistently refers to the spears used by the Germans as being "massive" and "very long" suggesting that he is describing in essence a pike. Julius Caesar, in his De Bello Gallico, describes the Helvetii as fighting in a tight, phalanx-like formation with spears jutting out over their shields. Caesar was probably describing an early form of the shieldwall so popular in later times. Severed head on a pole Oliver Cromwell's head was placed on a spike and erected in the 17th century. A drawing from the late 18th century.

In "Second Sons", Daario presents Dany with the heads of his former bosses as proof of his loyalty.

Padmaavati: Alauddin does this several times. Including his own uncle, whose head he displays at his coronation.

Although very long spears had been used since the dawn of organized warfare (notably illustrated in art showing Sumerian and Minoan warriors and hunters), the earliest recorded use of a pike-like weapon in the tactical method described above involved the Macedonian sarissa, used by the troops of Alexander the Great's father, Philip II of Macedon, and successive dynasties, which dominated warfare for several centuries in many countries. In For the Man Who Has Everything, Mongul's dream fantasy involves tearing off Superman's head and making it his banner as he goes on to conquer everywhere. The comic refrains from showing the details. El Sueño from Ghost Recon Wildlands show the Ghost the severed head of rebel lead Pac Katari dangling on a meat hook before tossing it at him. In Red Dead Redemption II, there's a Nightmare Fuel variation of this where the decapitated body is propped up on a horse and rode into camp with the head, sans the eyes, sitting in its lap. Poor Kieran.Human heads are not required. Any character engaging in this is an Anti-Hero at best, unless it's the head of something that doesn't look human whatsoever, like a dragon. In the latter case, the purpose of this trope is to show off the badassness of the character carrying the head. If it's a human head, it effectively shows that the character has no problem with killing people and often serves as a form of psychological warfare. An army engaging in this is nearly always evil and often very primitive. De Launay had three daughters by two wives. Some of his brother's descendants settled in Russia (see Boris Delaunay and Vadim Delaunay for details). In Batman: Shadow of the Bat Annual #4, a Lizard-Man presents Starman's head on a pike to his king Ophos Arkayos after Finger City surrenders to their forces.

In The Expendables 2, after defeating Vilain, Barney Ross asks Maggie if she knows how to carve a turkey. He later presents Vilain's severed head in a bag to Trench and Church to prove he won. The Elusive Samurai takes place during 14th century Japan, where beheading an enemy commander's corpse and parading the head around the battlefield as proof of victory was a common tactic used to break the opposing army's morale to the point of surrender. This is exactly what happens to Shokan after he is slain by Tokiyuki and Fubuki in combat. We once see Shizuku dressing up a decapitated head, with the narration pointing out that as morbid as it seems, it's pretty well-justified in the context of a war.

After shouting warnings, the garrison opened fire. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The besiegers interpreted that as treachery on the part of de Launay. [6] [7] [8] [9] The ensuing fighting lasted about four hours and resulted in about 100 casualties among the exposed crowd but only one death and three wounded [10] amongst the well-protected defenders firing from loopholes and battlements.
