Unreferenced date October 2009 The Germanic Iron Age is the name given to the period 400 800 in Northern Europe and it is part of the continental Age of Migrations . Germanic Iron Age The Germanic Iron Age follows the Roman Iron Age and the beginning is marked by the fall of the Roman empire and the rise of the Germanic king doms in Western Europe. In Scandinavia , it is followed by the Viking Age . It is divided into the early Germanic Iron Age EGIA and the late Germanic Iron Age LGIA . In Sweden , the LGIA 550 800 is usually referred to as the Vendel era , in Norway, the Merovinger Merovingian Age. During the fall of the Roman empire, an abundance of gold flowed into Scandinavia and there are excellent works in gold from this period. Gold was used to make scabbard mountings and bracteate s. After the Roman empire had disappeared, gold became scarce and Scandinavians began to make objects of gilded bronze, with decorations of animal style interlacing animals in Scandinavian style. The EGIA decorations show animals that are rather faithful anatomically, but in the LGIA they evolve into intricate shapes with interlace visual arts interlacing and interwoven limbs that are well known from the Viking Age .

The graves are princely, and are almost identical to ones found later in England , at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia . There are several theories about the identities of those buried, ranging from the Yngling s Scylfings to powerful warriors within the Leidang system, or local strongmen who had enriched themselves through trade due to the area s strategic position between the fjord of M laren and the important region of Tiundaland .

Image Harold dead bayeux tapestry.png thumb Image of Harold Godwinson from the Bayeux Tapestry . Harold and his huscarl s are depicted in nasal helms. The nasal helmet is a type of combat helmet used from the Early Middle Ages until the High Middle Ages . The nasal helmet was a form of helmet with a domed or raised center, usually formed around a basic skull cap design, with a single protruding strip that extended down over the nose to provide additional facial protection. The helmet appeared throughout Europe late in the 9th century, and became the predominant form of head protection, replacing the previous pudding bowl design, and the Vendel style spectical helm. One of the earliest versions of the nasal helm is the Vasgaard Helmet . The Bayeux Tapestry features many such helmets, it being the most popular form of protection at the time. The helmet began to lose popularity at the end of the 12th century to helmets that provided more facial protection, and although the nasal helm lost popularity amongst the higher classes of knights and men at arms, they were still seen amongst archers to whom a wide field of vision was crucial. The helmet can also be viewed throughout the Maciejowski Bible as a minority item for cavalrymen, giving the impression that it had become uncommon though not unknown by the mid thirteenth century. Nasal helmets have been found of both one piece and Spangenhelm construction, with the later period helmets being made of a single, smooth raised dome to allow weapons to glance off with ease.
