Description

The skaldborg, or shield wall, was a commonly used tactic of Anglo-Saxon England and Norse raiders alike. More often than not made up of lightly (if even) armored spearmen and middle class freemen. On occasion, the shield wall would consist of Huscarls, the personal retainers of a Jarl or King.
