Langobard Clubmen
The club may be inelegant, but few can deny that it works.Although thought spurious by the historian Paul the Deacon, the tale of the Winnili tribe is nevertheless the earliest account of the Langobard's connection with Godan (better known to us as Odin). When facing the Vandals, who entreated him for victory, the god told them that he would grant victory to the first army he saw on the day of battle. When the day came, Godan spotted the Winnili first, and asked "who are those long beards?" Following their victory, they became known as Langobards - literally 'Longbeards' - from that point on. In tribute, their 'wolf warriors' were impassioned by the 'dance' of Godan. Tribal elders imbued themselves with the spirit of the god in order to inspire younger warriors to feats of greatness in his name.
