The reality of how Viking Age men looked - especially those found within the lower-class end of society - is far more mundane than the brightly-colored, seemingly fantastical, approach many living historians strive for today - nor was it the feces-covered, dread-headed "biker warrior" so often seen in popular media, neither.
The reality is that it was somewhere in between the two, in the grey area of history so often overlooked by modern minds looking to assign a name, a box, a modern equivalent to a culture and time so far removed from our own it might as well have been a culture from another planet. Near Haithabu, Current-Day Germany ; Latter half of the 10th Century. Comments are closed.
