Vikings are the most powerful warriors Europe has ever known. Fighters renowned for their courage, bravery and ferocity, but above all for their violence. A civilization marked by an original religion, dominated by the gods Odin and Thor.
They were very ingenious when it came to making shields. Indeed, they managed to link the handle on the back of the shield with the steel boss to protect the hand. They also made a shield wall so that it could be as defensive as it was offensive. Finally, shields were also attached to their ships to protect the crew in battle.

How to use your Warrior shield?
Known the world over as great and brave warriors, the Vikings were highly effective in their attacks and protection.
The Vikings used a highly effective war formation that enabled them to weaken their enemies without suffering major losses. Once their enemies were weakened, they would break their lines and crush them with ease.
This formation is known today as the "shield wall".
In addition, they decorated their shields with runes or animal figures, symbols referring to the Nordic gods. But their aims were also strategic. Indeed, the
Wooden Viking shield being painted, prevents water from being absorbed by the wood, making it much heavier.
