There is also
'Massacre of the Innocents' on the Altar from Broddetorp Parish Church, 12th century, Västergötland, Sweden (http://warfare.gq/12/Broddetorp_altar-detail.htm)
on which Ian Heath based a Scandinavian lamellar corselet (http://warfare.gq/WRG/Feudal-61-Scandinavian_Hirdman-13C.htm), but David Nicolle doesn't think this is a useful source.
