説明 | Sponsor - Bright & SonsArtist - Nathan SmithDesign - 'Godric'What inspired the design?The design and name of our giraffe was inspired by the statue of Byrhtnoth on Maldon’s promenade and the story that surrounds it.In 991 A.D, the Vikings, led by King Olaf Tryggvason, launched a coastal invasion of Anglo-Saxon England. Their target was the town of Maldon, which was protected by Lord Byrhtnoth, an old enemy of the raiding Northmen. When the Vikings finally attack, Byrhtnoth makes a critical tactical error based on pride and arrogance, leading to his death and Maldon’s occupation. Byrhtnoth’s most loyal retainer, Godric, flees in the heat of battle so he can survive and claim vengeance even though this means that he breaks an oath he has made to die at the side of Byrhtnoth’s.
