5 Feudalism Explained Some had chain mail. It was heavy, very time-consuming to make and expensive to buy. A Viking warrior's head dress was a helmet made either of leather or metal. Both fitted snugly on the head. Viking helmets did not have horns like in the movies. The Vikings used surprise attacks. They sailed quickly into a port, robbing and killing everyone in their path until their raid was finished. Then as quickly as they arrived, they departed. The battle was often over before the enemy had a chance to react.

6 Feudalism Explained If the Vikings faced an enemy waiting on shore for their attack, the first battle tactic used was fear. Their dragon-headed ships, blood-red striped sails and berserker warriors probably frightened even the bravest enemy. This tactic proved so successful, the government of Paris paid the Vikings in silver coins not to attack and gave them part of France, as their own land. The Vikings had a reputation of being fearless fighters. They usually fought hand-to-hand combat, but if they were outnumbered, they often formed a tight circle back to back for defense.
