Armed And Dangerous
In the Viking world, each man was required to carry weapons with him. For the most part, they carried swords, chainmail, and a helmet. However, they rarely actually used their swords. They used spears for the most part while in battle. Each man’s gear would reflect his social standing as well, so only the most wealthy would have all the weapons listed.
