==Warrior Equipment AD 900-979==

Following Alfred’s reforms, the warriors of the 10th century are increasingly better equipped. Many warriors wear either the old fashioned iron domed helmet or the new style iron conical helm. A large wooden round shield is the primary form of defence, faced in leather or cloth and with an iron boss covering the centre grip. Mail shirts are usually only available to rich aristocrats and professional warriors, although they are becoming ever more common as the century progresses
