What does a Saxon shield have?
saxon shields from early medieval times were typically made of wood (linden?) and were of oval or more often round shape. the front side of the shield was painted with colors, usually simple geometric shapes or maybe even just random blocks of colors. some claimed the use of colors was merely for ornamental purposes. some believed that experienced warriors painted their shields to avoid revealing the natural pattern of the wood material which the shield was made of. shields could be a lot more easily broken if impact by weapons were made along the direction of the natural fibre pattern of the wood material. in some cases on the back side of the shield metal pieces might have been used to reinforce the shield though this might have been uncommon. Shields of the time usually had very short service life as they were easily broken. ordinary warriors in the Anglo-Saxon age would not be able to afford metal reinforced shields. in the center of the shield a cone shaped (cf vikings used dome shaped) metal shield boss was used to hold the wooden piece together. On the back side of the metal cone was a straight, bar-shaped hand grip. The metal shield boss thus provides protection for the hand. Shields were almost never held by belts running across the backside of the shield, though sometimes longer belts were attached to a shield so that it could be more easily carried around on one's back when it's not being used.

Did Harold Godwinson have shields?
King Harold would have used a round-topped kite shield exactly the same as his Norman opponents and those used by his own husceorls (housecarls) - his best-equipped men. The bulk of the Saxon army used their traditional round shields.It is thought that a change in Norman archery tactics led to Harold being wounded; in the first half of the battle the Norman archers shot directly at te Saxon shield-wall, with very little result. But later William directed his archers to shoot very high, like mortar fire, so the arrows would descend almost vertically on their targets. This would have made the shield-wall virtually useless and resulted in huge numbers of casualties on the saxon side, including Harold himself.
