IMO the third emblazon (Quarterly sable and argent, a cross between four mullets of eight points pierced counterchanged) has the only period feel. It also seems clear.
To see period Scandinavian concepts of good armory try looking at the articles and Heraldic Roll found at St Gabriel http://www.s-gabriel.org/heraldry/scandinavian.shtml Of special note is the article on "Personal Display for Viking Age Personae: A Primer for Use in the SCA" by Thora Sharptooth. There are other collections on period Heraldry throughout Europe at St Gabriels http://www.s-gabriel.org/heraldry/ and the site maintained privately by Coblaith (Sable Crane) http://coblaith.net/Heraldry/Armorials/
