Re: A Guide to the Danes
Yes, you are I am not sure how exactly originated the idea of Vikings wearing helmets with horns, but it is absolutely unacurate anyway.

Re: A Guide to the Danes
Apart from the horns,the basic "vikingr" unit pretty much covers those requirements - not that they're good for much apart from looking fierce/good.
The horned helmets are a product of 19th century (over)imagination IIRC, not sure what they originated from though... the only historical horned helmets I know of are ceremonial germanic helmets that predate the viking age by a lot...

Re: A Guide to the Danes
The Teutonic Knights also seem to have (partly) used horned helmets. But not the Vikings.
This is a very helpful guide by the way. Thanks!
