Leif Eriksson's Helmet
The Icelandic explorer Leif Eriksson is considered the first European to have set foot in the Americas. He was the son of Erik the Red, who founded the first Norse settlements in Greenland. Leif did not colonize the lands he found; other Vikings soon did, but were likely driven out by the indigenous Skraelings.\n\nContrary to popular depictions, there is no evidence that Vikings wore horned helmets. This image seems to have originated in 19th century art, particularly the costumes for Richard Wagner's operatic Ring cycle. It may also have roots in ceremonial horned headgear worn by ancient pagan priests. Historical Viking warriors likely used bowl-shaped iron helmets lined with leather, sometimes adding nose or eye guards.
