In this video the History Channel takes a look at Shield Maidens and whether or not they existed in Viking society as they do in the Vikings TV show. There is some historical argument for the existence of armed women but there is a lot that also makes people wonder if they were just mythical. This video tries to answer those questions with commentary from the series creator Michael Hurst and archaeologist Neil Price.
