Perhaps the most common hand weapon among Vikings was the axe. This beautiful axe has a solid-wood shaft, decorated with a spiral pattern, while the axe-blade has a double-head and is embellished with ornately decorative designs. Simple in its form but highly decorated, this axe is the ideal collector's piece that shows off both the axes simplistic shape, as well as beautiful eye-catching features.

Richard I was king of England from 1189-99. He was the third of five sons of King Henry II of England and Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine. He was known as Richard Cœur de Lion or Richard the Lionheart because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior. Richard was a central Christian commander during the Third Crusade and scored considerable victories against his Muslim counterpart, Saladin, although he failed to re-take Jerusalem. He remains one of the few kings of England who is remembered by his epithet, rather than a regnal number and is an enduring iconic figure both in England and in France.
