The huscarl were the feared frontline battle troops of the early English army. They were possibly the toughest fighting men in Europe at the time and it was said that these men were worth any two of the Vikings finest warriors. Their preferred weapon was the huge double-handed battle-axe and with it they were more than an equal to any fighting man, anywhere. These were men bound by honour, to fight to the death on the battlefield rather than face the shame of returning home without their Lord. At the Battle of Hastings, with King Harold dead, his loyal huscarls refused to yield and refused leave the battlefield. They rallied at a place on the battlefield known as Malfosse and in a desperate last stand caused such a huge slaughter among the Norman troops that once again the outcome of the battle hung in the balance. At the very end they were overcome, and they died to a man around the King's personal banner - "The Fighting Man"

Senlak is a new and innovative clothing label based in the Nottingham, England, at the heart of Old Mercia.
It's T-Shirts, sweatshirts and apparel use designs inspired by England and the culture, history and heritage of its people. The Senlak White Dragon logo is derived from The White Dragon of the Anglo-Saxons - the oldest known emblem of the English dating back well over a millennia. The arrow shape that appears on many of our labels is the runic symbol for the early English god Tiw. We name Tuesday after him (Tiw's Day). His symbol was said to evoke honour and courage and he was the protector of all warriors, but was also said to watch over the disabled, and the left-handed. The accompanying wording reads in Old English "Good is he who keeps faith"
This Englisc thing is part of so many , a multitude spread over the globe. For the unconventional and the non-conformist. For the free thinkers, the radical and the rebellious - we embrace all these things.
As for the name – Senlak, where do we get that? Well, it’s from a place where many years ago, brave men made their stand...
