Valkyries: "Valhalla: our reward for dying in battle. But what of those who die elsewhere? The Valkyries - a warrior order who have made a deal with the gods. Each one can earn glory for our fallen dead. In time, they can win a place for the deserving. But they alone decide for whom they fight. Masters of the spear and the shield, scouts, trackers, and perhaps your only hope for salvation."
The modern consensus seems to be that Valhalla and Folkvangr were alternative after lives for people who weren't able to be brought home to be buried with their families. For Vikingr it was important because they were the "Good" after lives available to them if they died. Proximal thinking at least at some point was very important for the after life. If you died at sea you went to Ran's hall for example. Its part of why bogging was such an immense punishment. "You will be forgotten and alone for all eternity." kind of a deal. The general norm seems to have been to be buried at home with your family members. Kings got elaborate ship graves but for most people thats how you were buried. But transporting remains a few miles to home.... not hard. Transporting them by ship for several weeks... that's a problem. So when the Nordic peoples started venturing out Valhalla and Folkvangr became more prominent. "If you die here, we will take care of your corpse, but we cant bring it home." So your afterlife options become wandering Niflheim alone... or hoping for Valhalla or Folkvangr, or for another god to decide to bring you to their hall. (Thor for example we know had a hall where mortal souls were welcomed.) This was probably a big reason for conversion in now local Nordic populations in Britain and Ireland, and France. "So if I follow your god, then as long as I do these things I have a joyful afterlife? No matter where I die?" From a mode modernist perspective, the idea that our afterlives are proximal is... silly. Souls are, if they exist at all, intangibles. Apart of some level of reality we can neither see, hear, smell or touch. Trying to apply real world physics to the spiritual is... misguided.
Nay, you are being fed lies by psuedoscience and childish fantasy news outlets such as the history channel. Fact is, women almost never fought unless it came down to desperate circumstances. I can literally refute any of the lies he brought up with the facts of circumstances and reality.
(Just to mention that I have already known about that, but not and the details) I am happy to see that there did was a place where the women are allowed to fight for their clans. I am also happy that it wasn't common only for the vikings. It was the same for the samurai with the onna bugaisha
Myths and legends, not real. There is no evidence of Viking female warriors. In Japan only a few existed and that didn’t work out so well. Stop falling for BS feminist propaganda.
I can't speak for other nations,but the Kelts had female leaders, queen Maeve one of the most famous wife of Alil , Grainne mhaile, I may have spelled her last name wrong was a pirate queen who was so successful at it that queen Victoria at the time even had her in her palace to discuss a pardon I believe. Celts aloud women to fight, and even valued their input on certain matters.
Well, there were some stories of viking beserkers, who fought without shirts on. In fact, there's a story that was actually recorded in history, by the Britain's, where a single, shirtless viking held off the Britain's on a bridge, while his fellow vikings slipped away. He fought long and hard, and seemed not to tire, but it wasn't until a few Britains went under the bridge and killed him with a spear.
I just had such a long debate with a man insisting that there was no way female warriors ever existed and this video was like the biggest breath of fresh air. Thank you for this. I shouldn't need a video to validate the fight inside me, inside every woman, but it still makes me so happy when others do acknowledge it.
Honestly, with the wide variety of human individuals in existence, it's evident some women were warriors, just like some men weren't. Some people have a hard time accepting this for some reason.
@@kiraleshoth No there weren't any female warriors... Women were not living in a fantasy Hollywood settings...

Do you really think looking after children and doing domestic chores are less important roles? It's those "less important roles" that shape each person's view of their world.
Well if your family is killed or you don’t have a house there is no children to raise. And me personally couldn’t respect a woman that just want to be home.

Thank you for this. I am actually writing a manga/comic about the Viking age. It’s called. “Silver Age”. About how a 17 year old boy is trying to change the world when it’s full of demons who fight in the outlands for fame, status, and royalty. He blinded himself after all the horrid things he’s seen. I’m trying to incorporate famous Vikings such as Ragnar who I named (Ranor) and other famous figures too. I will continuously watch videos about these warriors. Stay safe🖤
Are you changing the names to be easier to pronounce and remember? Wouldn't blame you when people barely know how to say the name of Thor's hammer, Mjölnir
common viewer I’m not adding Thor. He’s going to be the “god” that ppl worship but I’m not drawing him or Odin but I’m basing a character off from Loki. It’s not Norse mythology (although I did take things from mythology like ymir and Greek mythology). But yeah I made “Jotnar” which isn’t as easy as it looks to pronounce
"Unimportant" looking after kids and mere domestic chores? Those are very important jobs you need to perform to survive at all. The entire family was working long hours just to make sure they had food and shelter and didn't get sick.
No evidence is a reach. There’s many non-nord historical accounts of shieldmaidens being seen amongst norse armies, like John Skylitzes from Byzantium who recorded that russian women fought alongside men in the aid of Sviatoslav I of Kiev when he attacked Bulgaria and Saxo Grammaticus recorded that women fought alongside men for the danish side in the Battle of Brávellir, year 750. There’s also many norse graves of women who were buried with weapons and horses bones (a treatment that was also seen with the remains of warrior men).
@@justice5873 If you believe shield maidens actually fought in battle with the men i think you should be the one to study some history. Shield maidens were real but they were shield maidens, litteraly. They stood behind the fighting lines with extra shields for the men who broke theirs and rushed in to hand them a new one and occasionally a weapon too if that was broken. There are only one record of a shield maiden actually fighting and that was when a very beloved man named Starke was killed in the battle of Bråvalla and a shield maiden named Vebiorg was enraged and rushed to avenge him, but failed and was killed after slashing the killer one time pretty unsuccesfully.
@Zero Hero Dude, there is NO credible info about women participating in raids or warfare. Like, at all. Except for the few mentions of shield maidens, which were not fighting but simply there for support. And the raiding culture itself is severely misunderstood. There were not much raping going on. In fact there are quite a few mentions of raids where the vikings waited until the women and children had gone away before starting the violence. The old norse word the vikings used for "women and children" were "blautr" which means "soft" or "weak". And comitting violence towards "blautr" was EXTREMELY frowned upon and one of the most dishonorable things any man could do. And as you might know, honor was a big thing during the viking age.
@@EdvardBolaasMusic So these few adjectives are enough proof for you? There are more than enough female skeletons who have been labeled male that have evidently died on the battlefield. All this just to keep up the patriarchal narrative of people like you. Civilisations wouldn’t have come this far with your narrow-minded hunters and gatherers ideology.
Actually most of historians are of the point that viking women were mostly limited to domestic work. They do have equal rights of divorce, buying land and running business but the wareior stuff was done by men. And evidences for this outweigh the theory female viking warriors.
This interpretation which ignored the sagas has been disproven in the last years. The consensus is now that shieldmaidens did really exist, but must of them gave up that lifestyle with their marriage. And there are many historical texts which prove the existance of female warriors outside of Scandinavia. The idea that warrior women did never exist is based on the sexist values of the Victorian Age.
The leading theory now is the simplest, they had equal rights, but were not expected to go out fighting, but they could if they wanted to. And they would learn how to defend themselves and their home. A viking women would annihilate any other Christian women in a fight, they were warriors.
I find it so incredibly offensive every time I hear someone diminishing the role of raising children. It is the single most important thing any person will ever have the privilege of doing. Caring for children and preparing them for life. Yet we live in a world that consistently looks down on the role of stay at home mothers or stay at home fathers as menial and meaningless. Much better to pay someone else to do the nurturing.
this information is mostly inaccurate.. the women found in battlefields were there as part of the support for the men... women almost never took part in hand to hand battle ever in human history.. those are the facts. the burial at 3:30 is a woman of noble importance and a daugher of a warrior, thus buried with the honors of her father.. that is what real historians have learned.
I swear my wife is a shield maiden descendant she's not someone to bow down and behave like a "girl" she's always been strong and independent and warrior like, god I love her
Bro I swear to god you just saved me from my history inquiry about ancient civilisations I decided to switch from Ancient Rome to Vikings in the last 3 days of the due date and this is relevant about the military force of the Vikings
I wish they used katheryn winnick as the female version of Eivor in the new AC Valhalla, but with a Nord female actress, I understand that they wanted a local actress to portray a Viking ☺
There were no nordic female warriors. End of. Scandinavian women had rights, just like spartan women, but also had their duties. And fighting was ABSOLUTELY not one of them due to their importance in society. The man was stil the patriarch. And when he was away, the women fould take over the home.
Shield maidens were just that. Shield maidens. They typically stood behind the lines with extra shield for the men who broke theirs in the battle. Shield maidens did not fight themselves.There are many records of this but none where they actually fought. Ask any historian with knowledge about the viking age.

You do realize the word 'viking' is an action, in simple terms it means to raid, the north men became known as Vikings until a little later in history (I can't remember when exactly).
@@DarrellWeavercom You were describing the immense power and strength of the feminin. That has nothing to do with BS "shieldmaidens"..... Shieldmaidens (or what they actually are called "Skjoldmøer") were the fab material stories of the viking age.. No, no company of Women warriors... And no, no women warriors at all. With half a braincell who would think using women to fight close combat wars with men....... This is about killing each other... Women are weak AF fighting men, especially when they don't have any male backups. No more Hollywood. Again, these battles/wars are about killing each other. It's a concept that has a latent evolutionary awareness amongst males in communication. For women it's also latent but only by proxy..... which is not to be underestimated. However, they usually don't fully understand the violence as they are protected by the public.
That was then this is now I hope all women learn to defend themselves your going to need it soon because the law of the Jungle is just Around the Corner.

Cool. Link the historical evidence, oh that's right, poems. Even in the poems aren't they usually special/somewhat unique or remarkable? The reason there are SO few actual historical examples is because it was rare except in extreme circumstances like facing extinction at the hands of superior invaders. "Not unusual"? the fact that it was even notable means it was an exception. Feels more like an attempt to fit history to modern ideological sensibilities. Maybe stick to mythology.
@@sindelscat9336 coming from you, someone who just straight up lies in the attempt to win an argument on the Internet, I take your comment as a compliment.
Woman rebels against man becomes a Lilith. Brunhild rebelled against father became mortal. I mean it's pretty self explanatory that rebellion against the natural order of yin and Yang where yin follows Yang. Yin being female Yang being male goes against natural law,and hence god's law which is why these punishments happen . Hence why Christian writers often wrote about the reasons for the downfall and disunity in Scandinavian kingdoms. Make excuse that it's for propaganda or another reason,but the principle is there. Woman follows man. Man does not follow woman by Simping to woman and accepting equality nonsense.

The strongest woman ever would die in fight against the most average man; with slow fighting skills, ever..
Libtards: "stop assuming everyone's pronouns!"
@@leenpels7646 Average male deadlift is 90 lbs. Peak female deadlift is 630 lbs. A professional UFC female fighter can punch past 1000 lbs of force. The average male could maybe squeeze out 300.
Please stop trying to contort the science around your insecurity. Deal with your insecurity. Grow as a person and stop being an incel.
Women in cultures before "civilization" and Christianity has equal rites as men. But then, religion happened.
Do one on ivar the boneless
Yessir loved learned this I feel like all cultures had female warriors

@@wq8374 what happened?
You do realize the word 'viking' is an action, in simple terms it means to raid, the north men became known as Vikings until a little later in history (I can't remember when exactly).
lk rockandroll that sounded so gay its a violation
I look like a nice, middle age mom. But I’d the one fighting off the owo for the kids.
Vikings were men. Not all Norsemen were Vikings. Most were farmers. Viking is an act and it was done by men
brig and mercy oooo
A legenda szerint Lagertha is az volt.Ő volt a történelem legvakmerőbb viking amazonja...
Hello Samantha👋
Skjoldmøy... pronounced: sholmøy
Respect. 👌🔥
So glad I married a shield maiden.
The gods would neither show pity nor remember any fool that crosses her and her cubs.
wow, you're really not sound.
@@Hammerhook12 what are you talking about?
@@DarrellWeavercom You were describing the immense power and strength of the feminin. That has nothing to do with BS "shieldmaidens"..... Shieldmaidens (or what they actually are called "Skjoldmøer") were the fab material stories of the viking age.. No, no company of Women warriors... And no, no women warriors at all.
With half a braincell who would think using women to fight close combat wars with men....... This is about killing each other... Women are weak AF fighting men, especially when they don't have any male backups. No more Hollywood. Again, these battles/wars are about killing each other. It's a concept that has a latent evolutionary awareness amongst males in communication. For women it's also latent but only by proxy..... which is not to be underestimated. However, they usually don't fully understand the violence as they are protected by the public.
Theres many evidences....only two
❤❤❤
Viking women did not fight
That was then this is now I hope all women learn to defend themselves your going to need it soon because the law of the Jungle is just Around the Corner.
❤I want one!❤
An adult female fighter has the physical prowess of a 14 year old boy.... at most.

So cool! 🗡🗡⚔♀

I don't think you've been seeing the same women I have mate.
Air conditioning too cold. Reeeeee
Men with spread legs. Reeeee
I don't get paid the same even though I don't work the same hours. Reeeee
You should respect me. Reeeee
Atleast these hardcore shield maidens earned their respect by actually being useful and could walk the walk when push came to shove.
I don't expect a woman to be able to work an oven to cook her own dinner because I'm to busy paying for it when she wants a date.
Cool. Link the historical evidence, oh that's right, poems. Even in the poems aren't they usually special/somewhat unique or remarkable? The reason there are SO few actual historical examples is because it was rare except in extreme circumstances like facing extinction at the hands of superior invaders. "Not unusual"? the fact that it was even notable means it was an exception. Feels more like an attempt to fit history to modern ideological sensibilities. Maybe stick to mythology.
This video is a great example of why we need to see down votes.
This comment is a great example as to why dislikes should be a thing
@@sindelscat9336 coming from you, someone who just straight up lies in the attempt to win an argument on the Internet, I take your comment as a compliment.
@@Crimea_River coming from you, the idiot who made a claim he didn't commit to, but yet wanted proof of the counter claim, hypocrisy at its finest.

Woman rebels against man becomes a Lilith. Brunhild rebelled against father became mortal. I mean it's pretty self explanatory that rebellion against the natural order of yin and Yang where yin follows Yang. Yin being female Yang being male goes against natural law,and hence god's law which is why these punishments happen . Hence why Christian writers often wrote about the reasons for the downfall and disunity in Scandinavian kingdoms. Make excuse that it's for propaganda or another reason,but the principle is there. Woman follows man. Man does not follow woman by Simping to woman and accepting equality nonsense.
I don't know if you know this but, yin and yang is about balance between good and evil, so you're saying is that women are equal to men.
