Lagertha's Shield Sterling Silver Ring

Among the Vikings, it was not just the men that were warriors.

Some women were also trained in the art of the sword, and would take to the battlefield to defend their homes, or even conquer new territories.

These women were known as shieldmaidens.

You can imagine these women carrying the distinctive round, wooden shields that the Vikings were known for.

Thanks to the tv-show Vikings, Lagertha is the most famous shieldmaiden that we know from the Viking age.

While the story of Lagertha that we see on the show bears little resemblance to what we know of her from the sagas, what is accurate about her character is that she was a fearsome warrior, who gave Ragnar Lothbrok a run for his money.

Invoke the Viking spirit of the warrior, like Ragnar, and shieldmaidens, like Lagertha, with this detailed sterling silver Viking shield ring.

The shield was a weapon of defense, but also offense, as the Vikings slammed into their enemies.

It is the perfect piece for any modern Viking warrior.
