Codex entry
In the Middle Ages wagons were used for transport, agricultural work and for wartime purposes. One of the simplest was a two wheeled cart, while hay wagons (haywains) were also to be seen. The oldest, high-wheeled carts had one central axle connected to the undercarriage. From the 14th century on, twin-axled, four-wheeled wagons came into use. The front axle was not steerable, resulting in a very wide turning radius. Wagons did not have a seat for the coachman, who either rode astride one of the horses, or walked alongside the wagon.
In wartime a wagon could be turned into a mobile field palisade, a strategy that became famous especially during the Hussite wars, when the strategy of 'wagon walls' won more than one battle for the Calixtines (Hussite forces).
