>>46144293For what you know most of your beloved historical dramas could have this kind of discrepancies as well, Karolina Zebrowska and Bernadette Banner go into explaining way better than I could do in a 4chan post
Also while stating that Vikings didn't always wear horned helmets is correct, saying that they didn't never ever did that is misleading
I did a bit of research in the site of Copenhagen's National museum and I quote
"Depictions of an Iron Age date exist featuring people with horned helmets/heads, such as upon the Golden Horns. Similar images are also known from the Viking period itself.
In the Oseberg burial from Norway, which dates to the early Viking period, a tapestry was found on which horned helmets are also depicted. Does this prove that all Vikings wore the famous helmets with horns? The answer is probably not. However, there is some evidence to suggest that certain warriors wore such headgear. The horned figures on the Golden Horns are berserkers. These were wild warriors, who threw themselves into battle in a trance-like fury. We are also familiar with them from the Icelandic sagas, in which they are amongst the most feared of all Vikings.
It is also possible that such headgear was worn for display or for cultic purposes"
An inaccuracy would also be linking Purrserker with ONLY Vikings (the Berserker part of the name might be misleading) since yes, Vikings have been in UK, but no, they've not been the only north-european tribes to live there, another big part of the inhabitants of the Northern Islands have been the Celts of which (Go figure) we got the Waterloo Helmet,
