I'd probably stick with a battle axe too, preferably the Carpathian variation called 'bartka'. It's a long axe with a small heavy head and a long handle.

It can be used as a walking cane, as a hammer and as an axe. It doesn't require too much skill to use, it has a great armor-bashing potential, like the armor spike, and it has quite the range due to its long handle. It can also be used as a tool for cutting wood or hunting, for example.

A shield would be helpful too, and probably a crossbow, to shoot you from the distance before you can get to me with your axe. But carrying around a battle-grade heavy crossbow would've been a fucking nightmare, so probably not.
