VIKING WARRIOR, 850 A.D.
(Retail US$14.99)
A disorganized Western
Europe, resulting from the collapse of the Roman
Empire, was easy prey for any who could take
advantage of it. The Northern Tribes, Swedes,
Norwegians, Danes, and Frisians, who for many years
had acted as traders and merchants within the
Empire were quick to seize this
opportunity.
The first Viking raid was on
a Northern English Monastery in 793 by Danish
Vikings. In the ensuing years all the coasts of
Western Europe were fair game to Viking raids. The
most serious Viking thrusts were the invasion of
England in 859 A.D.; the conquest of Friesland from
840-890 A.D., the invasion of France and the sieges
of Paris in 885-886 A.D., and the invasion of
Russia in 850-900 A.D.
These are unpainted
and unassembled metal hobby kits.
Unless otherwise noted, these kits are in the
International 54mm
Collectors Scale. Standing figurines are approx.
2-1/2" - 3" tall.
