Brynje eplesider

Brynje A brynje is a type of armor made from interlinked metal rings (chainmail), used as protection in battle. During the Viking Age, it was one of the most effective defenses against sword and axe blows — and also extremely costly to produce. Its manufacture required thousands of hand-forged iron rings, each individually riveted together. As a result, only the wealthiest chieftains and noble warriors could afford a full mail shirt. Ordinary fighters had to rely on shields, helmets, or padded garments for protection. Archaeologists estimate that a mail shirt could cost the equivalent of several years’ income for a free farmer. In today’s terms, that would amount to several hundred thousand Norwegian kroner — a clear symbol of both status and power. Based on the apple varieties Asfari and Rubinstep – fermented with wine yeast and matured in stainless steel tanks.
