Did shieldmaidens truly exist? Do we have any evidence? Today we're continuing the exploration into Viking Age female warriors by examining the proof for and against the existence of real-life shieldmaidens. We look at archeology, the methods used to find the truth, and different discoveries, as well as the modern arguments for and against the validity of these finds. • Who am I and why Vikings? • I’m Thilde Kold Holdt. I’m an author by profession, and my debut trilogy is Epic Historical Fantasy closely based on Viking history and beliefs, called the Hanged God Trilogy. I dug deep into my research on the Viking era; I read the sagas, Viking law texts and even joined the brilliant crew of a Viking longship! • You can check out my epic fantasy novel, Northern Wrath, here: • Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3jBSOrp • Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3iA6BO1 • Add it on Goodreads: / northern-wrath • Other links: https://www.thildekoldholdt.com/north... • You can also read more about my books and me in general on: • My website: https://www.thildekoldholdt.com/ • Twitter: / koldholdt • Instagram: / koldholdt • I am a Scandinavian (Danish to be exact) so I do speak a Viking language (I know, very cool), which means I’ve had access to a crazy amount of research and have become a bit of a Viking saga history buff. I go really in-depth with my research (we’re talking moon calendars and vegetation charts), amassing more knowledge than I could ever put into a book. That is a big part of why I started this channel—to be able to share what I have learned on my research journeys, both about writing and about the specific history of the Vikings. • Once a month we will explore a writing technique and once a month we will ALSO explore a part of Viking history. We will talk about Old Norse gods, Sagas, and the everyday life of a Viking. I want to share my knowledge of Viking axes, Viking swords, Viking knives, Viking battles, Viking fights, Viking blood, Viking boats, Viking longhouses, Viking kings, Viking life! ALL THINGS VIKING! (if you’ve seen my 'Crazy Viking Laws' video, you’ll appreciate that joke…) • If you want a particular part of Viking history explained or simplified, then let me know in the comments which part of Viking life you’re most interested in getting a little history lesson or history lecture about! • Captions on for subtitles! • 00:00-00:30 Introduction • 00:30-01:12 The idea • 01:12-02:18 What about the Valkyries? • 02:18-02:37 Kennings • 02:37-03:37 Method one • 03:37-04:40 Graves at Kaupang • 04:40-05:07 Issues • 05:07-06:55 Method two • 06:55-08:14 Grave BJ581 • 08:14-10:20 Counter-arguments • 10:20-12:01 Needed evidence • 12:01-13:28 Grave C22541 • 13:28-14:16 Counter-arguments • 14:16-14:52 A Scandinavian
