What Was Life Like For Viking Women?

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

Ummm . . . Life of Viking Women but concentrating on burials of men, and sailing to go a Viking (it was a job description). One woman warrior buried in a ship shape grave. More women’s work please. Making jewelry! Inlaying golds?

[@judywood4530]

That is why I am bailing before the end of the video.

[@John.Flower.Productions]

_Making jewelry! Inlaying golds?_ Definitely not _women's work._ _One woman warrior…_ No one actually believes that.

They don't really hardly any facts about vikings most everything is speculation. They most info they have is from their graves and boats and what foreign monasteries wrote about them which was very biased.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

While I am thoroughly satisfied in learning about Viking history and lore as a whole, I feel somewhat less than fulfilled learning about Viking women. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[@dearashad]

Though I’m enjoying this, I can’t help but notice the disparity between the title and the actual content. I genuinely wanted to see a video about the subject of the title.

[@rjlchristie]

Misleading title will deter me from watching further uploads from this channel.

[@allielynn4511]

I HATE when videos try to suck you in with a title that has nothing to do with the video.

What an excellent video! Thank you so much for putting all of this together for us

[@asrasan3982]

I only lasted 8 minutes, I was like.. WTF.... Then I started reading the comments. Back to watching History Hits and Absolute History for me.

[@pamjohnson5363]

An interesting documentary and good info. however it does not at all cover what title states. Perhaps there was a title mix up, or you're just using a trendy title that is very misleading?

[@CarolynParsons-mv1ji]

Although the history of of Scandinavian people who would go a Viking is very fascinating and I did learn a tremendous amount, the title of this video being about Viking women is very misleading. If this mistake was corrected, this would truly be a great video.

[@ReshonBryant]

So, anyway we started viking🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rustandoldlace]

WARNING ! Bait and switch, this is not about Viking women, it is more cuts from other docs, don’t waste your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joknaepkens]

27:30 "Odin and his brother Thor"... If you would some (more?) research you'll find out Thor was Odin's son, not his brother.

[@debbralehrman5957]

Your title is complete “click bait”. It’s an informative post, but not what I thought I would be watching. Please rename 🙏🏼

[@966Mako]

I think the producers of this doco forgot the topic.

[@TrajityTheHoodHistorian]

The video was supposed to be about how life was for Viking women...you only spoke of the one woman's grave, and she probably wasn't even Viking 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Simbecile]

Today I learned nothing about the life of Viking women.

[@hikelfin5941]

Yeah that's why it's a good title, because viking women were very unimportant, and we don't know much about them. Saying nothing about women IS what you would do in a video about viking women. At least it's not some fake cringe about "ShEiLd mAiDeNs" and some nonsense about how women were taken super seriously.

[@brendabaxter5060]

My ancestors were Irish when they came to Canada they brought a bible,a jar with Jesus cross in water,and a shellfish which was taken as it was declared a weapon. But my grandparents always said I was a Viking princess ( because I was the only girl in generations) and that I was Irish princess from wayback

[@Historybuff_769]

Why is there almost nothing about viking women in this video

[@hj9696]

Clickbait title. Very disappointing.

[@juancana457]

Particularly scant amount of information about Norse women. I believe this easily qualifies as interesting and well told 'click bait'.😊

[@ronbork684]

Very informative video. It is interesting that this creation account of our Viking ancestors sounds very similar to that of the ancient Assyrians, where their God Marduk kills a goddess and from her parts makes the earth, sea, and sky. The Norse legends seem to feature "Giants" as the primary enemies of both the gods and men, and their account of all but two giants being killed in a flood resulting from the killing of a giant or god seems to add credence to the words of Jesus's half Brother Jude, and Moses. Jude verse 6, Genesis 6:1-4 The Greek legend of mighty Hercules, being the product of a union between a woman and a god seems to add support also. How does the saying go? Fact is often stranger than fiction.

[@jaimesmedley3266]

WHERE EXACTLY is the part about the lives of WOMEN? I heard that they held religious positions, and that was all.

[@junebug7177]

[@Ccamero123]

[@julierobertson148]

I enjoyed this video for its look at Vikings before they got their reputation. However, 2 mentions of women in those times does NOT make it a video about Viking women.

[@RonCarver]

Aaaaand click bait. Do not recommend channel will be clicked now. Bye! I automatically block channels that clickbait.

[@KristaOltermann]

I find it disturbing that a documentary on women mentioned women for about three minutes of a 45 minute run time. And they got alot wrong about the one female boat burial they did mention, thanks to the four other documentarys on the subject. Those two ladies were related, not master and slave.

[@brooklynnchick]

I know finances are hard right now, but I’m disappointed to see my favorite documentary team recycling footage from older docs and misrepresenting it as (1) a new show, and (2) about the lives of women. I believe that the claims about the women’s history issues are sufficiently discussed by my fellows previously. Big let down, guys.

[@autumnchadwick8469]

I don't mean to be rude, but....where in this video was there anything about Viking women?

[@fleetskipper1810]

I wish they would steer away from using pejorative terms like “barbarian.” if all that the term means is that the people so described were non-Christian, then just say “non-Christian.” But the term “barbarian” has a terrible connotation in western civilization - a slur, racist in fact. I would think that historians and archaeologists would shy away from using it.

[@Boudicaisback]

Eh I don't find it offensive

[@ReshonBryant]

​@@Boudicaisbackright. They had to distinguish themselves from Roman warriors.

Thor was not Odin's brother. Vili and Ve were the brothers of Odin.

[@pumpthebrakes]

So the question remains… what was life like for Viking women? Let us know when you find out

[@JackyHeijmans]

Odin's brother Thor, and Loki's cousin Freya??? How do you want me to still take your history seriously? Thor was Odin's son, and Freya was Odin's wife. Never read anywhere that Freya is the goddess of war, and she got the first pick on the warriors. And thank you for showing us how Viking women lived, I am yet to find anything about them. One woman burried with her slave, and women were important for religion, that is all so far. And a lot I can not even take seriously. I'm not even going to watch this to the end.

[@littlebirdie2]

I’m half way through and… NOTHING OF VIKING WOMEN’s lives.. Hmmmm… I’m done

[@tonyantoniou9271]

Is not Thor Odin's son not his brother, Is not the min theme Viking women? Only in the title is this the case.

[@teresabush8163]

I’m a Viking it’s in my blood through my ancestors. I can say we all are strong. As I believe Vikings just wanted better farming lands. They fought to have a better life. As I believe in many gods myself in this time in age. In I just bet that the government preaches god for us to fear. I have no fear for I know the truth that the church is nothing the real barbarians. As they gave us a false god to prey to. Mother Earth in our creator rules over all the gods. The creation of life period. Research your history. For there are many gods and they all work for our creator. Man took it upon himself to play god and write a book of lies a decent. I have faith my gods will come back and destroy the church for good. As we all have different gods. Not one should be praised more than than the other. Jesus was just another sacrifice not for our sins he was sacrificial to our real gods. Jesus was just a man not a god. His work is death to all who don’t believe in man. How pathetic. Our gods are real and our creator of worlds is to.

[@mountainben88]

Hunters don't normally want to bring back extra weight on long rang hunting trips. Internal organs, bones, water in the meat. Skins may be something that they might want to be transported with the meat because of their value on the market or tossed aside a result of their low value or not needing them for personal use and eating horse has historically been a result of failed hunting trips and not bringing enough food. Hunters today still remove the internal organs to make deer easier to move and transport. Horses, cars and ropes are used make it easier to transport such animals with prolong hunting trips that last days the animal is skinned and cut up and sometimes smoked or dried to remove water. The horse could have been emergency rations or gone lame. Americans used to shoot a lame horse in the head for a reason while out on the plain in the middle of nowhere. Considered a kindness, A mercy killing. Combining religion with a horse killing would make some amount of sense. You would not kill your only horse other than a last resort without it being lame. Offering the gods or a god a lame horse would make sense. food maintains life and sacrificing and eating a lame horse would not increase your chances of dying. Gods are often connected to food, hunting gods, gods of the farm, gods, of sun, rain and fertile soil. Food maintains life, blood is life. To give blood to something is to give it life. Sun symbols seem to be connected to farming including the swastika. A way to easily carve a sun symbol into stone, Strait line are easier than circles and can be done with much less strikes. Hunters still sometimes drink blood as a rite of passage for new hunters in the USA and we even had a movie that tried to push it called red dawn. the old one not the new, alternates are raw hearts or livers. another is offering a piece of meat to the fire; a few people even have their mancave covered with animal heads from kills. Two schools, bare bones or hair covered. The only place women normally allow men to decorate. Bear cave or wolfs den is another way of phrasing it. Personally, I would install a AI and a speaker hidden in the animal head and have it talk. Talking animal heads would be very cool.

Not very much mentioning about our women from back in the day, very disappointing I must admit, you can do better with everything that we know today! Greetings from a Swede in Glasgow! ⚔️🪓🍻

[@John.Flower.Productions]

_you can do better with everything that we know today!_ We know that even this video is nonsense. The older/younger men were supposed to have allowed the women to rule over them? *Absurd.*

[@GillianBigg-x2b]

I agree,. Where in history are the women. Patriarchy is alive live and well. Just because women provided almost everything except war and destruction, does not mean they should be forgotten. How about more interesting topics about society and social interactions. Childbirth, rearing them and how women were important to society would be a start.
