Were there girl vikings

Answer 1

yes

--------

Actually, No.

It was impossible for a Norse woman to be a viking, since being a Viking was to be of a particular sect of the Norse culture.

The idea of a female viking warrior is a myth, mostly due to Victorian notions of what the Valkyrie where wing helmed warrior maidens. When you actually read the Edda's they are actually considered shapeshifters that took on the form of the crows/ravens and wolves that came around after a battle was over.

No, the women of the Nordic countries where much like the Christian women of dark ages in their roles with a few added powers when things like divorce came along. They kept the hearth warm, and tended to the daily needs of the children and her husband. If the man was away on trade or in war then she would take over the managing of the farm/house until the man returned.

From my understanding women where not even allowed to wield weapons unless in the defense of the home and they where barred from Things in which the men would conduct meetings for the year ahead, which would include any plans for raiding or wars.

Answer 2

Where there females around during the Viking Age? Of course. Did women go aviking? Not generally. A Viking was a person who went on a trading and raiding voyage. Women, so far as I know, never went. One might argue that there were women on Leif Erikson's voyage when he discovered North America, but he was not going aviking. Not that was a voyage of exploration, not for trade or raid.

Answer 3

they were the first go to to war. then it's the men
