Holy shit. I’m a straight female, but I’d pay good money for one night with Lagertha.

"maiden" is misleading. They will fucking kill you for the fun of it.

I didn't know this was a thing and now I have a new fetish. These women are gorgeous!!

I look at most of these and think "They are part-time warriors, and then there is Lagertha who is a full time badass."

Maybe she's a good conversationalist or something I dunno.
vauhtihirmu
Checked the series' wiki due to this post: Ragnar is drawn in by her with and intellect.
Smayds
I thought it was because she was massively fertile, and he has a prophecy of having many sons?
SometimesISayDumbShit
I don’t think she’s ugly but she ain’t lagertha for sure

Black belt by 13 & had her own dojo by 16. And is a licensed bodyguard. I'd take that butt kicking any day

Never mind she would as much kick you off a cliff than ever hear you refer to her as that ever again.

I thought they just recently found the grave of a viking woman that was buried with honors.

Viking Mulan?

I'm aware they did. And while it is likely she could've been a shield maiden, it isn't entirely sure if she was or not. Experts were 1
