Search around there. If a 10th cent Viking had armour, it would most likely have been a mail shirt, a conical helmet of spangen construction and round sheild with a boss. An argument could be made for a lamellar cuirass if our Viking had any contact with Byzantium.

In my spare time I have been trying to look for armour the would suit my persona, which is a(successful) 10th century Viking Raider from Norway. I figure that as a raider my character would naturally travelled all around the face Europe and picked up some souvenir armour from various cultures amongst the expeditions. I would like to know where I could find good examples of the amour dress worn by other peoples from the same time era. (Such as Byzantine, English, French, Kievan Rus, Arabic, etc...)
