I put the image up here:

There aren't enough gyrons to make that gyronny.  You effectively have
a gules section of the field with a sable charge and a few argent bits
that aren't going to help with the color-on-color thing.
You could have it gyronny from the line of division, assuring that red
was against the lower half.  Not good style, but for a Norseman now
really bad, either.
