Exactly and this so called discovery is more of that same tripe
The roar of Viking estrogen
Pure fantasy
Which is what a shield maiden was
Lore not fact
In all the known Viking warrior burials unearthed is but one female skeleton
One..in Rus country
And she coulda been a slave or camp follower
Did the Norse grant women more power than most of their contemporaries
Yes
In the home and property
But the Viking warriors were men
Yes, but this case might be the rare exception that proves your rule.
There certainly were some scary-fierce women chronicled in the Icelandic Sagas. Not saying they were warriors, but they did fight and kill.
The Celts had their warrior queen, Boudicca. And much later, there was the phenomenon of Joan of Arc (who might have had some Viking blood). Later still we had the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher.
