Why Scottish women and Icelanders are closely linked
It's easy to think that the Viking world was dominated by bearded,
macho men, but that assumption is wrong. Both ancient 'Norse Sagas'
and archaeological discoveries suggest that women actually played
equally powerful roles within Viking society and politics. Historian
Dr Janina Ramirez tells the incredible story of 'Aud the Deepminded'
- one of the first people to settle in Iceland in the 9th Century.
Aud was a warrior, a leader, a freer of slaves... and a woman.
