    Viking Weapons
    The Vikings were Scandinavians who colonized parts of Europe from the 9th to the 11th century. Vikings revered the sword above all weapons. The passing of a family sword from father to son was considered a ma or event. Even better was the knowledge that a sword had been wielded in battle or in a feud by a great warrior or nobleman. This gave the sword added status and was thought to imbue the blade with special powers. The Viking armory also included the spear and battle!a"e# the first!line weapons launched against an enemy.

    Viking Weapons
    The main Viking battlefield weapons employed during first contact with the enemy were the spear and battle!a"e. $ne of the reasons why the sword usually took a secondary role in the initial phase of a battle was that the continual striking of one sword edge against another would
    have inflicted large nicks to the blade and eventually removed the consistency and effectiveness of its finely sharpened edge. %ecause of this# once the spear or a"e had done its work# the Viking warrior would then draw his sword and look for e"posed and softer areas of the body to attack. Skeletons of Viking battlefield victims unearthed by archaeologists consistently e"hibit more spear wounds than sword cuts# highlighting the selective use of Viking swords in battle.
    & 9th!century Viking!decorated stone carving from 'otland# Sweden# depicts two soldiers fighting with swords.
