Viking logistics
Equipping and supplying a Viking army was a rather complicated process in the 9th century, than it was later in the period. During the earlier part of the Viking age decentralized power was unable to raise large forces without the consent of local chieftains. They were not more powerful than the hersir. Regional troops would have been erected and equipped local, the laws of the defense of Norway(Hirdskra) are an example of this.
