It's pretty funny, like the dude who wrote this says:
Quote:
Vikings: Valhalla creator Jeb Stuart told Decider, “I did a lot of research on the Vikings and I certainly wasn’t about to put a person of color into a role that the actor would spend all the time saying, ‘I don’t know why I’m here.'”
|
He did a lot of research. In his research he found that
Quote:
A woman’s work duties were, by all accounts, housekeeping and making food. A large part of her time was also taken up working wool, spinning yarn, sewing and weaving for the family’s own consumption. Pregnancy and breastfeeding also took up time in a woman’s life
|
and also
Quote:
Even if women had a relatively strong position, they were officially inferior to men. They could not appear in court or receive a share of the man’s inheritance. It was the man who had the political power.
|
but then he read this
Quote:
The written sources portray Viking women as independent and possessing rights. Compared to women elsewhere in the same period, Viking women had more freedom.
|
which to him means women led armies into battle and siege warfare and fought like men with bloody swords and axes
and further
Quote:
For centuries, dark-skinned people either willingly traveled to Scandinavia or were forcibly taken there as slaves. Over time, some assimilated with the Vikings through farming, marriage, combat, and other cultural factors.
|
which to him means they had a black queen
a black warrior queen!
I'm sorry but The 13th Warrior is as far I'm willing to stretch the genre.
I could go on about a man named Jeb Stuart forcibly putting black people in period dramas but that's the sort of psychological speculation I'm not qualified to entertain. |
