A type of Irish long-bladed spear or spear-like weapon used in medieval times.
From Irish gallach, possibly connected to Gaelic gall (foreign), referring to foreign or Viking-style weapons that influenced Irish weaponry.
The gallach shows how Irish weapons incorporated Scandinavian designs through centuries of Viking raids—sometimes we learn history through weaponry because that's what survived and got written down!
