Hi Mr. Cornwell.
How do you envision Uhtred’s wolf shields? Would it be a full-on snarling front view or a side profile? From what I’ve seen, most Viking shields just had alternating colored panels as their design. Would something a bit more elaborate be unheard of? I have a idea for a Viking shield I would like to design. It is a black field with the Midgard Serpent in red coiled around its circumference and grasping its tail in its mouth at the top of the shield. I am sure that there is no record of such a shield, but is it plausible that there were Viking shields with similar designs?
