Most likely an alternate spelling of the "corseque," a type of European pole weapon, which is characterised by a three-lobe blade on a 1.8 to 2.5-metre shaft. The head features a long spike and two shorter and stronger lateral blades. Surviving examples have a variety of head forms, but there are two main variants, one with the side blades (known as flukes or wings) branching from the neck of the central blade at 45 degrees, the other with hooked blades curving back towards the haft.
The Corseque is said to have originated in Corsica, from where it takes its name. It was popular in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. [1]
