Zona, is it possible the shields changed to reflect a more diverse form of fighting? It seems the Roman shield was very effective for the shield wall, but not so much for single combat. The Norse or Danes for instance could find themselves fighting at sea or raiding or being raided. Often these would result in single combat. Attaking and breaching a fortified site could also involve a lot of single combat.
