He aids Beowulf in the battle against the dragon and succeeds him as king of the Geats after his death. While it is unclear whether this Wiglaf is the same as the historical figure, the poem reflects the cultural and social structures of the Vendel Period.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-break-spaces\"><em><strong>Archaeological Finds:<\/strong> The Vendel Period is renowned for its rich burial sites, such as those in <strong>Vendel<\/strong> and <strong>Valsg\u00e4rde<\/strong> in Sweden. These finds reveal a society with a strong social hierarchy, where warrior elites played a central role. The elaborate grave goods, including helmets, shields, and weapons, highlight the martial culture and status of the ruling class during this era.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Stronghold Terrain prints these miniatures as an official licensee of Medbury Miniatures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-break-spaces\"><strong>\ud83d\udce6 Delivery Scope &amp; Material:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span class=\"followup-block cursor-pointer outline-none static -mx-0.5 inline px-0.5 group-hover\/message:[--hover-opacity:1]\" tabindex=\"0\" data-question=\"What makes resin miniatures more detailed than other materials?\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"radix-\u00abr5r\u00bb\" data-state=\"closed\">Highly detailed resin miniatures<\/span><\/strong>, unpainted and unassembled.<\/li>\n<li>We always strive to include <strong>the widest possible variety of different models<\/strong> in your package.
