Okok...but Viking is a job description not an ethnic group.

I appreciate your feelings all women Scandinavian keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco

Thank you - this is so interesting.

💜💙

Some women are very inspiring, That's what makes them special,, Besafe everyone,

The background music is too distracting and hard to hear.

Viking women wearing Scottish tartan,😄

love was insignificant ? this was not the feudal system. Women had more to say on the marriage than you make out, they could also terminate a marriage if the man were dishonorable. The pre-christian era were not a male dominated culture. The real weight came from the family name, it was important that the social structure were loyal. Accounts have also been written down of women who were fiercer in confrontations than men. When the vikings landed in America and encountered Indians, a woman of the viking tribe were beating her chest with a sword when combat ensued which scared off the indians for a fortnite, before they decided to return. They tried to capture the woman during a night assault, but they were killed by her and she apparently left her husband afterwards because he "hid behind with the ships". This guy was apparently not a warrior, but the woman came from such a family. He were of lower class so she apparently choose him, which wasn't unusual then. Women had the ability to give birth, and the gods they adhered to were also honored in that the choice of a woman were a decree by the gods. The female were not chattel back then amongst the "heathens" but honored and seen as the future of a family. Women were raised not to be commanded but to choose and act wisely as the offspring were the future of the family. Some women swore themselves to different gods, as not all women were content to be housewives. It was a very complex society and hardly everything is understood, but we do know that the medieval feudalistic system were foreign to a people who valued freedom and individual independence. Hence the choices of Gods that people choosed to follow.

So many people here are being so critical, as a long time reenactor/living historian (whatever) I'm usually pretty critical of how things are presented as far as accuracy, etc. But from what I can tell this is obviously a student film and was made for many other purposes than exacting historical detail.

Hello from England wish I had viking ancestors

Her shawl obviously wouldn't have been plaid though. That's Scottish. The shawls/cloaks would have been a herringbone chain weave, secured with a pin or pennular circle clasp.

Can you list your sources? I would like to look through them if possible. It was difficult to read them in the credits.

You made the music a little too overpowering. It's lovely and I actually adore that song, but not when I'm trying to hear you.

Very beautiful :)

You can barely hear what their saying

this is so badly made... costume props audio and everything

Norse woman did not wear bras and panties. FAIL!

How about freydis on Vikings show??

Argh de gode gamle dage! Vi skal da tilbage brødre!

The freedom of so called "viking women" were shared within all pagan european native cultures. It was christianity that changed this. Respecting women was always the standard in Europe before the disgusting desert cult started to genocide pagans.

3:12 Is that a Viking-age bride with a late 18th century light cavalry sabre? I wish my wife came with gifts from a thousand years into the future :O

well done

This sounds so Irish 😂😂😂😂

What did that man READ? Im Norwegian and didnt understand a world almost. Hus was correct..

You mean norse. Viking is something you do not a race.

does anyone know what the song in the background is called and who sang it?

Well i think someone had a problem researching because a viking is a raid so VIKING womans will be healers, warriors, or farmers searching for new land. If you ment NORSE woman you should look for something at least related to it, because, for example do you really think that cloak will help you in the harsh -20°C of Sweden's winter? And the norse women were free people independent of parents, brothers and husbands, they could own propperty and marry WHOEVER they wanted because they were free, and the thing of the hair was something of the Christian's middle age, not the pagan one

Wrong type of sword but I enjoyed the video. Most people wouldn't notice but I'm really into weapons of the Viking Age. Thank you.

I wonder...could those rounded glass seem-smoothers be heated a bit? Or would it cause the glass to break? If they could be, they would actually work really well at getting out wrinkles and what not.

When addressing the women freedom one ought to address the other side of these issues in the area of responsibility. In Germanic culture, adultery was frowned upon even during pre-Christian times and it would not go any better for a woman committing it than a man. She might even find herself being whipped and her family paying the man and/or his family to assuage her guilt and soothe his wounded honor. Freedoms yes, some ancient form of feminism, most assuredly not. One must be careful not to project our wishes or desires of how our ancestors lived upon how they actually did live, what they actually did believe etc etc.

if anyone points out that viking women had head scarves as a reason to let muslims have the same on exams and work, may I remind that these were for a practical purpose and had no restriction of when to wear, only a purpose.

HI SWEETIE. LIKE T' GO FOR A BOAT RIDE. IT ALWAYS WORKED IN THE OL' DAYS. HAVE FUN GARE
