The first one could be meant as a pretorian. At least he's using an attic helmet and has a cloak which could be meant as a officers cloak. However, he has braccae (trousers) on, which would not be in favour amongst the pretioriani, most probably.
The second figure I would call a gemanic chief. Some 'viking' influences indeed and I'm not sure if I would date it to the 10th century. It probably was meant to depict someone a bit ealier then that.
