WHAT DOES PIQUE MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Pique

Pique

Pique is a medieval rod-shaped weapon used by the piqueiros, who in turn formed the base of the medieval infantry. The pike consisted of a spear of approximately 3 to 5 meters, with a metal tip. Pique was the main weapon used against enemy cavalry. Even after the emergence of firearms, the sting continued to be used. The primitive cannons, arquebuses and muskets had very slow and imprecise firing, so the pikemen, in close order, formed the nucleus of the European infantry until the middle of the seventeenth century. Its maximum expression was the Spanish Third. The invention of the bayonet, in the middle of the seventeenth century, would eventually make the pike obsolete by the end of the same century, as it enabled the Musketeer to defend himself during the reloading process. In the French army was totally abolished in 1704, although it reappeared, when the first conflicts generated by the French Revolution. In Portugal, at the time of the French invasions, it was a resource widely used by the people, since the invaders had completely disarmed the country.

Pique é uma arma de haste medieval, usada pelos piqueiros, que por sua vez constituíam a base da infantaria medieval. O pique consistia de uma lança de aproximadamente 3 à 5 metros, com uma ponta de metal. O pique era a principal arma utilizada contra a cavalaria inimiga. Mesmo após o surgimento das armas de fogo, o pique continuou a ser usado. Os canhões primitivos, os arcabuzes e os mosquetes tinham disparo muito lento e impreciso, por isto os piqueiros, em ordem cerrada, formaram o núcleo da infantaria européia até meados do século XVII. Sua máxima expressão foi o Terço espanhol. A invenção da baioneta, em meados do século XVII, acabaria por tornar o pique obsoleto, ao fim do mesmo século, pois permitia ao mosqueteiro se defender durante o processo de recarregamento. No exército francês foi totalmente abolido em 1704, embora tenha reaparecido, quando dos primeiros conflitos gerados pela Revolução Francesa. Em Portugal, na época das invasões francesas, foi um recurso bastante usado pelo povo, pois os invasores tinham desarmado completamente o país. Referências ↑ Verbruggen, Art of Warfare, 151...
