Elf's List of Links (Norse/Viking)

My Shire's clothing guild has a Facebook page that now includes documents for sharing links for various time periods/regions for garb.  I added my Viking links to it today, and while I am at it, I am also adding them here.  I pulled these about a year ago, so need to add in quite a few more that I have found since.  Hopefully will do it in the next couple of weeks!
