Weapons and Military Strategies
By: Alejandro Mora & Miguel Mayordomo
Beowulf is here
“Grendel is no braver, no stronger/ Than I am! I could kill him with my sword”
"Grendel is immune to man-made weaponry, and he has bewitched all blades. He cannot be wounded or cut through the human standard of power, and is defeated only by Beowulf, who faces him without a sword."
After being intimidated 12 years straight by Grendal
a brave warrior by the name 
of Beowulf arrived to the city
of Thanes.
Weapons like these were of no use when fighting Grendal, 
he was not affected by any man made weapon.
“Grendel is no braver, no stronger/ Than I am! I could kill him with my sword”
"Not even the sharpest of swords could have cut/ It [Grendel's hand] through, broken it off the monsters/ Arm and ended its life, as Beowulf/ Had done armed only with his bare hands." 
Strategy of intimidation
Beowulf: You want your name in The Song of Beowulf? You think it should end with me killed by some Frisian raider with no name? 
Frisian Leader: I'm Finn of Frisia and my name shall be remembered forever! 
Beowulf: Only if you kill me. Otherwise you're nothing.

The Vikings before then XI century, were an immense threat to England and the rest of Europe. They were able to create very fine weaponry which was, in a way, different from other medieval weapons. 

The main Viking weapons was the spear - it was normally very big and heavy which could even destroy medieval armor in its early stages. For this reason, the Vikings were greatly feared as they were both strong and good at war.
Additionally, Vikings also used projectiles such as bows - which were not as common as in the South - but were employed nevertheless. Since their bows were not very effective, since the British began employing them, the Vikings had a notorious

Horses
Norse horses were different from the ones in Europe. They were smaller and not as fast, furthermore; they were not as good as the rest. This was another major disadvantage for the Vikings as they almost invariantly fought on their feet while the British, for example, could kill many more by fighting on their horses.
As years passed, some regular horses were stolen from Europe and used for the Viking's own purposes, but due to the weather, horses did not breed as fast as they would have in the South. Furthermore, only the stronger horses survived which were reserved for Viking generals and important soldiers.
General 
Even though the Vikings were at a disadvantage because of a lack of horses and swords - they were still very efficient at conquering villages and terrorising peasants. Their weapons were mostly slow, but since they were so strong, one blow could mean the demise of an enemy soldier. 
Furthermore, conquering another village could mean a new settlement for the Vikings - reason for which they rarely pillaged and utterly destroyed an opposing town. Instead, what was normally done is that they simply settled there.
