File:Goedendag On Chest Of Kortrijk.jpg
Kist van Oxford

English: Goedendag on chest of Kortrijk – Flemish soldiers at the Battle of Courtrai (also known as the "Battle of the Golden Spurs"). Troops in the center of the column have the goedendag or plançon, a heavy club with an armour-piercing spike at the top. Pikemen are on either end, the pikeman to the left holding off a charging French knight with his long geldon spear. The more celebrated plançon-wielders are the great majority in this image, but in actual formations the pikemen armed with the geldon would have predominated.
