Quote:After 11th century the Varangian shields were probably "almond shaped" or kite shields or even square slavonic. The left figure could represent a guards man from 1100 to 1204 (with kite shield of course). Later guardsmen would have even more westernised equipment.
Kind regards
I thought they would be equipped very much like their kindsmen in Roslagen, and Östergötland?!?
