Default Medieval ? Iron spiked Axe / boarding axe ?

Hello dear members,

I just won a lot of antique axe heads and spears
and I wanted your opinion about the one at the top.
It's the one that was the most described and as follows:
A medieval Iron Spiked Axe
1100-1300 AD. Medieval. iron axe with short, curvedblade, elliptical socket and spiked butt.

It looks like an old boarding axe to me , around 1700-1850

Difficult to believe it’s so old as described
( + a certificate / Oxford University Archeology Dr )

It’s ok because the global price was really fair.

For the others , they are described ́’a fantastic set of axes’́, but without any precise description. I find the second one from the top, which I believe to be of Viking type, particularly beautiful and seems authentic.

For the moment, I just have these pictures

What do you think ?

Kind regards
