Iconic viking warrior was a woman, DNA test confirms

Archaeology, along with ancient documentary sources, has proved that there were ancient Roman female gladiators, female warriors amongst the migratory steppe horse=archer tribes. So the fact that there were shield-maidens amongst the Norse is not really a surprise, although one does not read of them as warriors in the sagas. Because of this, I presume that they were the exception rather than a frequent or regular occurrence. But many Norse women had the warlike spirit, as evidenced by saga accounts of the acts of women in combat against the Skraelings in the early Norse colonizing attempts in North America.

Well then I am pretty sure if she had remained buried she would be spinning like a top over whats happening to Sweden these days
