A shieldmaiden is a female warrior from Norse mythology. For instance, the Valkyries were shieldmaidens that brought the souls of dead Viking warriors to the afterlife known as Valhalla.
During the Viking expansion, a number of shieldmaidens fought within the Great Heathen Army, such as Eivor Varinsdottir, Soma, Valdis, and Halfdan Ragnarsson's mother Lagertha.[1]
In the 10th century, Thyra Haraldsdottir, the daughter of King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark and Norway - and wife of Styrbjörn the Strong - was also a shieldmaiden.[2]
