Another word would be slavery. I think Irish and Scottish women are due some reparations.
The ones in Iceland? Now, think about that - they owe themselves?
Perhaps the longboats and knarls pulled up to the dock in Ireland, and 50 willing,nubile, young women jumped on board, to go colonise some far-away place named “ICELAND”...but it hardly seems likely.
Or, as we say in my family (Scots/Irish/German), “...there is a viking in the closet somewhere!”
