medieval karelian warrior



Clockwise - Karelian (rich warrior, XI century), Izhorian (simple soldier, X c.), Muroma (rich warrior, XI c.): http://pics.livejournal.com/purgine/pic/000dhc43

Mari (rich warrior, XI c.), Mordvian (rich warrior, XII c.): http://pics.livejournal.com/purgine/pic/000dgx5a


"There's medieval source from about Carelians to be found in Dublin university (as referenced by Finnish historian Klinge, 1983) it refers Carelians as "savages who are scared of every foreigner they encounter, and hide back to forest whenever they see one".
I am very skeptical over the idea of "rich Carelian warriors", the whole concept is most likely a product of national romanticism."  - 2010-03-04 PeterThaGreat http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/3273-Finnic-medieval-warriors

well... that reference goes against karelians' trading-attitude...
