For what its worth, there is historical precedent for a variety of morning star that is attached to the handle via a chain rather than a long handle. While a different variety from the type normally associated with classical mace-style weapons, it still qualifies.

It's definitely a KIND of flail in that form, though, and flails are often grouped into the same military category as maces in term of weapons. I think the term "Morning Star" actually refers to the style of bludgeon at the end, rather than the weapon's style itself.
