I always wondered too. Somewhat recently I got 6061 Siege Tower as a set
and wondered who the Axemen were attacking with this? In the set the Axers
are on the tower, on the wall and outside there is a Lion riding on a horse!
What sense is this? :) I also started with the 6049 Viking Voyager and I
always thought that the Axemen would be great Vikings if they had a proper
hat. Thing is, the members of the 'Viking' Voyager are Lions. I would have
liked to see some bearded, horn-helmed, fur-wearin' Vikings for Axemen and
forget their silly alliance with the Lions. Also, round shields with emblems.
I once read a very detailed and good rendition of a Lego castle history (I
can't remember where now) in which King somebody had 3 sons, a Lion, a Black
Falcon and an Axeman. This guy had the Axemen get defeated as the brothers
fought after The King died. If I can find that link again I will share.
