So a while back I decided that I’d touch up or redo some of the knight drawings from last year in preparation of continuing the series!
This is an update of the previous one I did for the "Braids” prompt.
It may not be more infused with braids, but I do like this one a bit better!

Elin, The Silent Protector
In the 10th century, Elin, a silent but formidable shield maiden, defended a Viking settlement in Norway. With her silent determination, Elin thwarted multiple attacks, earning her the nickname "The Silent Protector." Her stoic presence inspired her fellow warriors, and her legacy lived on in the sagas recounting her unyielding defense.

Boar helmets
Boar statuettes have been used as helmet decorations during the Germanic age both in mainland Europe, as well as Anglo-Saxon England and Vendel Scandinavia.
But could you have guessed that boars have been used as helmet decorations since Celtic times? More accurately I should say Hallstatt era Iron Age, but it does mean that the idea of warriors mirroring themselves with boars as fearless creatures in combat, has been in existence before the Roman conquest of Europe and has managed to survive up until the Christianization of all layers of society around 800-900 AD.
The helmet above is the “Benty Grange helmet”. Contrary to more famous helmets, is that this particular one was plated with horn rather than metal. The boar on top may have been decorated with hair running along its back. This was the first Anglo-Saxon helmet ever to be discovered, found in 1848.

Was the life of a Viking all sea voyages and conquering foreign lands? Not quite; the domestic life of a Viking was comparatively mundane, but still fascinating.
