A shieldmaiden (Old Norse: skjaldm) in Scandinavian folklore and mythology was a woman who had chosen to fight as a warrior. They are often mentioned in sagas such as Hervarar saga and the Gesta Danorum. Shieldmaidens also appear in stories of other Germanic peoples. The mythical valkyries may have been based on the shieldmaidensThe historical existence of shieldmaidens is heavily debated, but some scholars argue that they did exist.My shieldmaiden looks rather sad and forlorn, but then it has just started snowing and as we all know its grim up north! Whether she is on guard for errant orcs or wild and dangerous northmen I'll leave it to the viewer to decide!
