Villeroy & Boch Viking (?) Plates

Description

Two wall plates that seem to be part of a story. I think Viking because of the helmet on the main character but maybe tied in with a german story (Valkyre or such). One plate is a scene of a young man (very aloof) getting ready to leave on a journey in a swan led boat and an older woman (his mother perhaps) kneeling and kissing his hand with a castle in the background as well as what looks like a king and knights and villagers  The second plate is the same young man standing in the swan led boat arriving on the shore where a princess is standing and in the background is what I think is her father, maybe a king, sitting on a throne surrounded by his knights. Shown is the first plate...
