Close Range: Flail wins. The rotational inertia of the head allows it to strike with more force, creating better penetration than the Broadsword will, especially against plate armor. Edge: Templar.

Mid Range: Even. The lance was made to be used from horseback, thus increasing it's killing power, but the pike (and most other polearms) were made to combat cavalry. Edge: tie.

Mid Range (2): Halberd wins. One, it has an enormous reach advantage over the longsword. Two, it was, like the pike, initially made for anti-cavalry combat. It just so hapens to be a devestating weapon against footsoldiers. Edge: Teutonic Knights.

Special: Tie. The shield is a big factor, but also consider tha the mace rose to prominence due to heavy armor. The mace is highly efficient against the Templar's armor, and could possibly wreck his shield after some effort. However, balance that against the shield's offensive and defensive capabilities and you have a toss-up. Edge: tie.

Overall: Teutonic Knights win. The weapons they're using are simply better.
