ORIGINAL: mnottertail Women in the scandinavian countries had the right to divorce long before the rest of the world, pretty advanced in that. Additionally, the Vikings were equal opportunity enslavers, they would enslave anyone who wasn't Vik. That's not entirely true, they sort of enslaved them as well. Slaves, slaves, it is just raining slaves up here in Norway. Ron (Knute Angurvadel) Drifa, Sigrid the Proud is aka Sigrid the Haughty, right? Been a while...... Sigríð stórráða Tóstadóttir, where stór is an intensifier, "great", and ráða is "determined" or even "ambitious". Stórráða is glossed by Latin superbus. I translate it as proud, because haughty has a perjorative sense in English. Sigríð was totally not into taking shit from suitors, and was quick to punish an insult, so Victorian translations give it as "haughty" because to their eyes had she been a good woman she'd have shut up and done what some man told her to. Freydís, on the other hand, was a scary woman who totally had her husband whipped in the mental sense, and is our first recorded European mass-murderer on the North American continent. Freydís is the one who drove off attacking Indians in the Vinland outpost by ripping open her dress, flaunting her bare breasts at the attackers, and slapping an axe across them, which apparently astounded and dismayed the Indians so that they ran away. Then she had a bunch of men in her party out and out slaughtered, and when none of the men in her service would kill the five women in the expedition, Freydís took an axe to them with her own hand. Auð in Laxdaela Saga forces her husband to wear effeminate blouses that are so low-cut that they show his nipples and makes him a laughingstock, so there's another one of those strong kinky women.
