Last week I posted an illustration of a group of warriors entering Winchester as part of the royal entourage depicted in Courting Trouble. This week's drawing from my sketchbook is up close and personal. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.
The men carried broad round wooden shields with decorated iron bosses in the middle. I noticed one huge warrior whose front teeth were missing. His shield was covered with deerskin and had an iron bar across it. The dome of his boss came to a cruel looking point and had probably poked out more than one man’s eye.
