馃帶 Valkyrie: The Warrior Women of the Viking World
Medieval • 15m
I was thrilled to have J贸hanna Katr铆n Fri冒riksd贸ttir on the pod. We talked about Viking women, old Norse-Icelandic sagas, mythology and poetry. Who were these Viking women who were champions on the battlefield, did they really exist, and is there much historic evidence? J贸hanna answered all these questions drawing upon the latest archaeological evidence. It seems the lives of Viking women were far more dynamic than we might imagine. Enjoy!
