pfff Viking women did more than this. It just depends on their rank. If they're upper crust then they'll, of course, be doing less. For everyone else they did what was necessary around the house, including farming and slaughtering.

@@ohmahgawdfilms Unfortunately we don't know if shield maidens were real. The only evidence we have are sagas that reference legendary shield maidens (often goddesses or supernatural beings), and viking graves where women were buried with swords/weapons. Historians are not sure if the weapons were buried with them because they were warriors, or if they served symbolic/religious purposes. That being said, in every culture in every time, there were certainly a small number of women who were able to join armies in disguise. That's not to say that the women of Scandinavia weren't fierce. They endured harsh living conditions, difficult weather, and many had to face settling new lands in foreign territories where their families were granted access. Most did farm work and hard labour, all while managing households and lands when/if their husbands went raiding. Viking women had a lot more agency relative to other women of their time. Part of this is because their husbands were gone for so long, and women were expected to run things in their absence. They became real political leaders. There is plenty of evidence of female rulers.
@MariMiniatt From wikipedia: "Corn is the name used in the United States, Canada, and Australia for the grain maize. In much of the English-speaking world, the term "corn" is a generic term for cereal crops, such as Barley Oats Rye Wheat" And sort of on a side note, in Swedish, the word "korn" only means barley.
Jesper Engelbrektsson in Australia, corn is the name given to maize when it’s been prepared for human consumption. On farms, when grown as a crop, it’s called maize. Barley, Oats, Rye and Wheat are called by their correct names. I have never known them all to be referred to as ‘Corn’. Each has its separate title, along with all other grain types.
yep, i remember a TV program about crusades, where it was said that "the crusades were financed by the corn trade." Only it was translated as "maize trade"... so crusades (apparently) were financed by selling maize ... american maize
"oh, don't be arlamed i'm just very ugly" "this snottyflopper sound awfull i'll tell you i like to give her a pice of my mind, providing she gave me permission to speak of course." "you know what i forgot how ugly you look, oh you say the lovelest of things." These are my favourate lines
it was actually pretty good compared to how it was in other count at the time. they always had a say in matter tho it was generally implied in the stories that they were often trouble
@SanFranGirl1982 Snorradottir, it's a patronym, not a surname. And actually, she would have been referred to on a first name basis as Snorradottir just means "Daughter of Snorri".
I don't know but I thought Thrall can easily earn their freedom when compared than other cultures. I know it's from manga but one character was a illegitimate child of a Dane and a Welsh princess and became freed due to his Danish side (Well, he did killed the father in the bed).
"Easily" is doing a lot of work there. They could be freed by their master, sure, but that's been true in many periods. Don't mistake stories for reality in terms of representing period practices - the story is usually highlighting an unusual case. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrall (Also, be very careful when ingesting German history from Japanese sources. They have a peculiar take on certain historical events due to being allied with Germany in WWII. The Holocaust, particularly, is something that they don't really seem to comprehend fully.)
A lot of cultures allowed people to free their slaves easily. That’s the norm if they didn’t allow that then that means that they were probably very mistreated and they thought even if they freedom they would try to kill them and example be the Spartans were they treated their slaves horribly. It had to cull them every year or in other words kill them if they have a number the more than 9 to 1 of course slaves like that can’t be free because they will just try to get vengeance, but whether it’s American slave to Bronze Age slaves they can be freed whenever generally if they believed that there wouldn’t be retribution. now there is the exception for American slavery wear in some areas it was, kind of hard to free your slave, because they do not want the prices of flights to soar too high, because they couldn’t import more . But that’s the exception generally, if you can’t free them in a society, historically that means it was so horrible to be a slave not society, but the moment they weren’t they were likely just going to try to destroy the societies. They needed to guarantee that they could always be under control, they can like the spartan example where every year at the slaves saw that they were culled for no reason like cattle
@@r0xdab0x96xo yeah that's rubbish. Very few English women 'ran off' with Viking men. The vast majority of the women that went away with Vikings were taken by force at knife point. Besides, the Danes didn't smell so good after King Aelfred dealt to them hahahaha
This is so cool I’m Norwegian and all I ever see is english history, which is so boring. But I guess I’m British to so I should probably listen to my history teacher.
I'm from pure Norwegian and Swedish stock and my grandma with an axe was a terror to behold. I have no doubt and do not need arch. proof that Viking women were bad ass. you haven't met my three sets of twins in my lineage, all women. all warriors. all the time.
@Sigurjon543 Question. If Snorradottir's first name was Teuon (cant think of a good name) would her daughters last name be Teuondottir? To mean Daughter of Teuon or is it like a Clan name where she is a Snorri?
It wasn't unknown for chieftains to sometimes have a slave buried with them to serve them in the next life. As for having the slave raped beforehand, as far as I know there's no evidence to support that theory.
History tells that the origins from the first denmark king were from the northland. During late 1600 there were no more danish king with northland bloodline, because the new king who arrived were from german stock. That is why danes sounds so weird, because their northland language is mixed up with geran accent
Jonathan Simms Yes. Anglo-Saxon women were attracted to Norse men because they washed regularly with soap, dressed nicely and had things like combed and plaited hair. There were even instances where women marrying into the Norse groups was so common the native men attacked and killed the Norse men.
at the very end it seemed like they actually were in love when he did the thing with his fingers and she smacked him softly and laughed
It was so cute 💕
Yay
Yey
Well, if they weren't she'd probably have divorced him...
Considering she could get a new husband if she didn't like this one pretty easily, she must have had SOME reason to keep him around~
"OH what a horrible looking boy!"
"It's a girl"
WOW XDDD
@Cheesecake For Life good point.
They're good for making babies also.
Ross Otto and you’re not even good for that lol
I laughed out loud at that one. His face was great when he said that. Lol
GumiSilverLovah it a boy SIKE it’s a girl
Yay
"HELLOOOOOO" "Oh oh dear" "OH DON'T WORRY I'M JUST VERY UGLY :D" (He's also a shouty man)
He's actually hot tbh lol
He's BOOTIFUL
Yay
"I would like to give her a piece of my mind...if she gave me permission to" LOL!! xxx
"Dont be alarmed I'm just very ugly" LMAO
"Its a girl"
That line killed me after he looked at the camera lol
“You know what, I forgot how ugly you are”
*a w you say the loveliest things 🥺*
True love uwu 💖
And then they run off together
"Oh, what a horrible looking boy!"
"It's a girl" :D
That’s a terrible choock

It’s still funny though
Not to mention shield maidens were often times more fierce than their male counterparts.

I think Ben is far too adorably charming to be a real Viking - in this sketch anyway! ^_^
Mr Viking:Grrrr
Mrs Viking:don't grrr luv
Mr Viking:Sorry darling sorry.
LOL
"I forgot how ugly u are" "o u say the loveliest things"
You’re going to live like my wife now and she talks whenever she like.
Boy do I know it...

‘Don’t be alarmed, I’m just very ugly’ 😂
Yesssssss
"Permissin to speak terminated."
3:50 aww that's cute 💞
She talks whenever she like
Boy do I know it
Lol 🤣
Even covered in crap Jim is still adorable :D
Wow, viking wives had it better than I thought :o
If a man cheated on his wife she could chop off his dangly bits and display them
E McCreanor that should still be a thing
@Pasha Staravoitau it wasn't because they were considered property and not people.
@Mati _Mistrz lol what ?
The end of this one is just adorable.

WE SELL ANY MONK!
Yessss
Seems like Viking women had more rights than any other country in that time.
Based on this sketch alone.
Umm Ireland - women could marry, divorce - own land & property (that was *theirs*, even after divorce) - be leaders...
"i forgot how ugly u r" "u say the sweetest things!"
its been eight years since you left this comment. I wonder if you learned to spell in that time.

Humon brought me here. =3
She brings us everywhere. It's no wonder we have messed up brains.
I would DIE for Ben to be my husband! :D

Corn doesn't have to mean maize; you can use it as a fancy word for wheat and other grains.
Peat moss makes a great camera.
It's the beard. It's always the beard.
Here because of Humon
Note to self: Never fight with a viking's wife.
permission to speak terminated! xD
It would be pretty interesting if wife swaps were real🤔 3:19

O U SAY THE LOVLEIEST THINGS
Funny, but weird when the Vikings apparently haven't seen their own thralls before...
cool
Snorredottir i think is her name.
(dottir means daughter, like "Daughter of Snorre")
why would any one dislike horrible historys
lol... Ms. Boogerdaughter (= Ms. Snordattr)
Did I have where is this all the time
They are speaking the Queens Scandinavian... I didn't even know she had any.

is it just me or does the posh wife staying in the poor or messy home paint in every historical wife swap? lol
I did not know that viking had an English accent !
Well, after living in Britain for years, they probably developed them.
Humon brought me.
Me too!
"what a horrible little boy"
Ja, det er vel det, haha xD
oh but there is my friend, google ibn fadlans account of the rus chieftain funeral :).
@geof7530 well the actors are english. bbc is an english channel and so is this series. they just could not do scandanavian accents.
he he he very funny
Yay
Wasn't bathing common among the norse?
Jonathan Simms Yes. Anglo-Saxon women were attracted to Norse men because they washed regularly with soap, dressed nicely and had things like combed and plaited hair. There were even instances where women marrying into the Norse groups was so common the native men attacked and killed the Norse men.
8 thralls saw this video.
@chocolatefountain95 Well, Tolkien was heavily inspired by norse mythology and poetry, and so was Peter Jackson, I guess;-)
Tolkien was an expert in Angli-Saxon history primarily.
Peter Jackson was inspired by Greek mythology, not Norweigan.
"What a horrible ugly looking boy!" - "It's a girl."
Blobnose (the kid) is quiet cute acctually
@Sigart Well, maybe the pillaging part, I don't think viking sheild maidens would do the raping part
In the nobility I dont think a Viking woman could divorse.
