Many female viking graves have been found with weapons in them. Appears it was based on skill and experience how much or what kind of weapons it was there, from household items and a Sax up to a girl who lay on her shield, had sword, axe,bow and arrows,spear and her horse by her feet. Can be compared with the Schythian women warriors, or the native blonde/ red haired tribes in South America of possible Phoenician or Viking origin that gave name to the river there when the puzzled Spaniards encountered them.

I'm half-way into this show. Growing up in Iceland and having lived in the other nordic countries, we ALWAYS put subtitles on languages that are not our own when they are shown on TV. What we do not do is to audio-dub our languge over the original language which this show is doing and so, you have 2 people talking at the same time which is utterly nonsense. Skip the overdubbing of English and put subtitles. Simple as that.

I'm thinking Nordic women of the Era had more rights and respect because they shouldered all the roles when the men went " a viking " away for long periods of time.. I independent autonomy encourages competence and strength. A l so, longer periods between childbearing meant overall better health. They had to do or die. I wrote this before the narrator said it. So I'm glad I haven't romanticized their history.

A little later he is the one getting the tattoo and getting ready for his first voyage when Mom stepped in lol.

God why are so many people whining about a story that shows a woman in charge
@spraakkanon
@spraakkanon 3 жыл бұрын
Because it didn't happen. They don't whine about a woman in charge, they criticize people who lie about history to fit their narrative. These lies often grow when they are passed on in circles to whom it benefits to believe the claim. These people will also 'teach' others and completely distort facts. One example of this is the type of presence that sub-saharan Africans imposed on the northern fringes of the Roman empire. People who really know history know that the romans had contacts with black Africans and even that some of them were occasionally (but rarely) stationed in Western Europe, perhaps some of them even had high positions. As soon as 'woke' people got air of this they first increased the perceived percentage of black Africans in roman legions in the north, than they added more and spread the assumption that a lot of them had high ranking roles in the field and Rome itself, than they added more to the flame by claiming that the roman empire was basically a sub-saharan creation and that Africans imposed culture to Europeans. History should never be part of a socio-political narrative.

Man I feel like that ended on such a cliffhanger. They really could have done more with that Son/Mother bond. I'm surprised we didn't get to see him realize or admit, that his father and their men were no better than those men on horseback who tried to kidnap his sister and kill his family. Really. How can you rape and pillage and then look down on other people for raping and pillaging?

Yes we have female burials, high status, some with spears, but no proof of warrior femails a spear is a sign of importance, most likely a seer or wife of a king, not a warrior. Years of practice and use would be evident on skeletal remains, due to overdeveloped muscles/ tendons etc in certain areas of the body. To us they would look unnatural, like descriptions of medieval longbow men,would appear lopsided and in life easy to spot. No femail burials like that have been found. It's possible a few powerful women fought. But nothing like in the show 'vikings' small slim blondes, is pure fiction.

A lot of wishful thinking and PC nonsense when it comes to female Viking warriors. Women had very important roles to play in Viking society, but swinging swords and axes against the enemy wasn't one of them. Common now people.

​@@jotunmey Seems like my comments keep getting removed when i post sources, so you'll have to make do with the citations. ""Could women be Vikings? Strictly speaking, they could not. The Old Norse word vikingar is exclusively applied to men" the bs of viking being a verb comes from sagas, "The Icelandic sagas, especially the work of Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241)-an Icelandic writer who turned oral tales into written works-were not made until a few hundred years after the Viking Age. Historians consider them unreliable as they often relate to somewhat mystical events that have no archaeological or other evidence." And don't even let me start citating viking war laws. If you read scripture, then you'd know a vikingr is a MAN.

How do you know for sure that you have viking blood? Birth records weren't a thing back then, and the majority of Scandinavians in the viking period were just poor farmers, only a small percentage actually voyaged to find more to add to what little they already had.

Unless you died fighting and truly lived for violence and war and killing, you won’t go to Valhalla. If you die fighting because you must and you’re dutiful and honourable, you might go to Fólkvangr and be with Freyja. As women, we are privileged to also be chosen to go to Fólkvangr provided we died selflessly and honourably, even if we did not die in combat.

“The women of course”…well actually older people and pregnant women would likely be left with young children and animals to care for. Able bodied women, many of them, fought alongside men as the archaeological and contemporaneous written record indicates.

I’m a new history buff, so I’m not likely to spot inaccuracies. However, I’ve learned that if a documentary has an American narrator, particularly this guy, it’s probably best to not take it as absolute truth. They seem to tweak things to fit their world view.

IF you enjoy watching things come out from the ground and see how its done and in an entertaining way then you would enjoy it . Theres a few digs from York, Jorvik as it was known back then, of a Viking Settlement, from how the town evolved and grew to the daily life of the people there . Cheers.

As a Historian and translator I find it funny how this is passed off as a history documentary. The Historians commenting clearly studied other cultures and Viking history is completely alien to them. They just ignore the Dane Law and Runic carvings and act as if the Vikings were in the middle of a modern day feminist movement. This whole documentary is fictional and contains less historical fact than the TV show Vikings. If one of my students ever said sayga instead of saga.... I'd have recommend the blood eagle for them. The name of this channel should be Absolute BS.
