Description of the Product
Normans (men from the north) were conquerors originating from Scandinavia who were renowned all through Europe. Normans attacked England in 1066 and through the decisive victory in Hastings went to conquer all of England in just a few years. The famous Bayeux Tapestry depicts this battle and gives us a good understanding of Norman equipment. Normans used kite-shaped, long and downward narrowing shields that protected the feet of a warrior much better than same-size round shields. This shield-shape spread all across the Europe with the Norman warriors.
This Norman Shield is made of varnished wood, with a steel boss and a riveted cross made from steel. The shield has 5 leather straps for different carrying styles. Using the long strap you can carry the shield on your back when not in combat.

mukavan näkönen ja kokonen kilpi, plus metalli reunat pitää sen hyvin koossa. nahkaremmit tosin aika syvältä. hankaloittavat kilven käyttöä liikaa ja niitä ei voi säätää
Teppo (verified owner) –
Tämä kilpi on erittäin näyttävä ja pienempi soturi voi hukkua sen massiivisen koon taakse. Kilvessä on vahvistetut reunat mikä on iso plussa. Kilvessä on monia eri nahkaremmejä sen kantamiseen ja pitämiseen selässä. Anioana miinuksena on se, että ahkaremmit ovat vakio pituiset ja ne pitää modifioida omaan käyttöön jos kilvestä hauluaa helpommin kannettavan. Kilpeä voi myös kantaa selässä vaikka on suurikokoinen. Tämä kilpi on todella komea seinäkoriste oman linnan tai olohuoneen seinän perukoilla muiden aseiden kanssa. Kilven vahvistettu ristiosa muistuttaa Teutoniritarikunnan tunnusta vaikka on metallin värinen kilvessä. Kilpi toimii myös suojana päiväunia nukkuessa sohvalla ja pienet koulutetut kotikissat (lohikäärmeen) poikaset eivät hypi syliin kun rintari nukkuu ja lepää taistelujen välissä soffalla. Tämä kilpi herättää muissa kateutta ja ihastelua.
