I’m going to say this a couple of times probably, but make up your mind! Were female Viking warriors common and well respected, or were they rebelling against the norm of women being weavers and spinsters? Did fight along men or did they have to prove their mettle every time they walked into a tavern???

So if a middle aged source described a Viking Queen as strong, wise, discerning and skilled in the martial arts, it should be considered accurate, but if one describes a woman as cunning and vicious, it’s probably just the Christian influence against powerful women talking. *eyeroll*

Friend, you really should have given your “real” Viking warrior maiden a different name than the one from the mythic poem, because I am struggling to know who you are talking about.
