A New Book on Viking Age / Dark Age Combat Techniques from the UK.

An exploration of combat from the dark ages, designed for reenactment. With explanations and images of basic combat techniques and an in depth description of Viking and Saxon social structure. Followed by a detailed look at weapons and armour used in this period.

I was lucky enough to meet the author and as a rare treat he actually brought 2 genuine Viking swords to us so I could feel the weight and see the work and ingenuity of how these were forged over 1100 years ago!
