          Don't disagree! There are AS burials of (probable) women with weapons, fwiw, but likewise has been questioned if simply symbolic or... :)

          Have you read Nicola Griffith's Hild? She has Hild (Hilda of Whitby) leading a warband as a young woman, in a pretty persuasive scenario.

          Surely Taunton was conquered by Wessex in 710 as part of the westward push against Dumnonia. Was there a revolt in 722?

          Yep :) The Chronicle just mentions the event but Henry of Huntingdon says was in the context of a rebellion.

          Thanks for your reply. I want to learn a lot more about the westward expansion of Wessex during that period.

          I wonder how much of this stems from Steppe influence? The Scythian and Sarmatian cultures had a significant percentage of female warriors.

          It's very likely this brushed off on some of the Eastern Germanics and may have generally been seen as more acceptable as a whole.

          Even if it still remained exceptional. We're talking less than 1% in Viking vs. 20-30% in Scythian.

          That's about the same in ASE too, fwiw... Interesting idea, though I would think could emerge organically without influence too?

          Maybe. Like the article argues, Status could preclude gender discrimination. It's know the Sarmatians had a heavy influence on the (1/2)

          Slavs and various Eastern Gothic groups though. The Iranic loanwords are rampant through their languages.

          Because she led an army doesn't mean she did any fighting. She may have done of course, but we should be careful of this vague terms

          The problem I have is the narrative which attempts to make dark ages culture more similar to our own

          It's fine for the dark ages (so called) to be different from our own. Do we really need female vikings to encourage women today?
