Viking Age Weapons & Clothing

The accepted time stamp of the Viking age is between 793 and 1066 AD. It was a waring culture, however their main means of living consisted of farming and most of all trade. The word "Viking" or "Vikingler" as it would have been said originally; means "raider". This word describes the iconic axe bearing Norsemen that really would have been a young mans occupation for only 3 or 4 years. Not a life time.
In this video I'll briefly discuss some of the historic clothing of the time. As well as some of the weapons used by the Viking people on the day to day, and in battle. Enjoy!
