Hi guy’s. On mobile just in case the formatting is odd.

Whenever Vikings are portayed in popular culture I often find the burly/brawny/stocky woman warrior trope who are, as part of the trope, sometimes more adept than men in combat. For instance I’m watching Amazon Prime’s Vikings and there are many women warriors.

Of course I appreciate how silly it is to rely on a TV show for historical accuracy but as previously mentioned above, this is something I see quite a lot when Vikings are depicted in the media. Thus, I’m wondering if there is some truth to it somewhere. Where there’s smoke there’s fire type of thing? (Terrible analogy but the best I could come up with).
