Product Description

Vikings

Viking, also called Norseman or Northman, member of the Scandinavian seafaring warriors who raided and colonized wide areas of Europe from the 9th to the 11th century and whose disruptive influence profoundly affected European history.

Viking Axe

Whereas swords were prestige weapons, axes were the weapon of the “common man” in the Viking Age. Axes were made of iron, and since they were tools as well as weapons, they were usually quite plain and utilitarian.

Battle Axe

Battle axes – axes specifically designed for use in warfare – were distinguished from regular axes by their especially broad blades and projecting spurs. But the axes of the period came in all kinds of different shapes and sizes – small, large, broad, slender, light, heavy, with large spurs, with small spurs, with no spurs at all, and so forth.

Viking Berserker

Today, the word ‘berserk’ is used to describe anyone in an irrational, agitated state of mind who cannot or does not control his or her actions. The meaning of the word originates with the Viking berserkers , the fierce warriors who were known for battling in an uncontrollable, trance-like fury, and were alleged to be able to perform seemingly impossible super-human feats of strength. They would howl and growl like beasts, froth at the mouth, and launch an attack in a fit of fren

Hel

One of the most famous Viking axes is “Hel” (named after the Norse death goddess), which belonged to King Magnus of Norway and Denmark. He is said to have inherited the weapon from his father, Olav Haraldsson of Norway, whose ax features prominently in Norway’s national coat of arms. Some Viking axes – if they were wielded by a particularly strong and skilled warrior – could even cut through chainmail and helmets

Viking Shield, Helmet And Axe

Viking shields were made of wood with iron bosses that covered the hand-grip to protect the hand. The grip itself was usually made of wood, but sometimes metal was used instead. Some shields had metal rims around their edges. Shields were decorated with paints, often brightly colorful ones. As Norse poetry attests, shields could also feature pictures of mythical motifs. Some shields had leather coverings for extra strength. The diameter of a typical Viking shield was a little less than a meter.

The Vikings commonly wore helmets in battle. Their helmets were sometimes made of iron, and sometimes just leather,[24] which was better than nothing, at least. Helmets were conical or rounded in shape, and many had nose-guards.

Viking shield and axe

Since Viking shields were made of wood, few have survived in the archaeological record, so our knowledge of Viking shields comes primarily from Viking Age pictures of them and literary descriptions.
