Viking Love Pairs: New Insights into Sexual Diversity in the Viking Age

In recent years, several Viking graves have been discovered throughout Europe where two men are found hand in hand. These findings have sparked a new debate about the sexual orientation of the Vikings.

The initial discoveries of this nature were made in the 1990s. In a grave near the Swedish town of Birka, skeletons of two men were found touching shoulders. These men, aged between 25 and 30, were equipped with weapons and jewelry indicating their high social status.

Subsequent years revealed additional discoveries, including:

2001: A grave in Norway where two men were found hand in hand. These men, aged between 20 and 30, were dressed similarly. 2002: A grave in Sweden where two men were found hand in hand. These men, aged between 30 and 40, held a sword hilt in hand. 2014: A grave in Denmark where two men were found hand in hand. These men, aged between 25 and 30, had a gold neck ring. The interpretation of these findings is not conclusive. Some scholars believe they constitute evidence of Viking homosexuality, while others argue that the men were simply friends or relatives showing unity in their final resting place.

It is crucial to note that there was no clear definition of homosexuality in the Viking Age. Viking society was complex, with a variety of sexual norms. The relationship between the men in these graves might have been perceived as platonic or romantic. Regardless of interpretation, the discoveries of Viking graves with two men holding hands are significant. They demonstrate that homosexuality was not unknown during the Viking Age, contributing to a broader understanding of historical sexual diversity.

Viking sexual norms were intricate and diverse, lacking uniform rules or regulations and varying based on region and social class.

Homosexuality was not prohibited or condemned in the Viking Age. There are indications that, in some cases, it was accepted and even celebrated. The aforementioned discoveries of Viking graves with two men hand in hand serve as examples, suggesting that homosexual relationships were acceptable for at least some Viking men. Literary references also point to homosexual relationships, such as the Icelandic Saga of Egil Skallagrimsson, which narrates that Egil, the saga's hero, had a homosexual relationship with another man.

The discoveries and literary references indicate that homosexuality was at least acceptable for some Viking men. However, it is essential to recognize the absence of a uniform definition of homosexuality in the Viking Age, with sexual norms varying based on region and social class.

Upon careful observation, one will see that the the pommels of these Viking Age sword are crooked; more noticeably on the center sword. This was a deliberate feature incorporated by the craftsman to allow for optimal grip ergonomics and biomechanics. Linked is a video by Roland Warzeca on grip ergonomics @ 7:35.

Steel, copper, silver, niello

Weight, 2 lb. 4 oz. (1020 g)

European, probably Scandinavian,

about 900-1000

12. Sword

Steel, iron, silver, copper alloy

Weight, 3 lb. 5 oz. (1497 g)

Germanic or Scandinavian, about 850-900

This blade is inlaid in iron with +VLFBEHRT+, indicating that it was made or inspired by the swordsmith Ulfberht. He is thought to have worked in the Middle Rhine region of Germany, and his blade-making style and signature were emulated for generations.

"YOU SEE ME LIFT THE AXE, AS IT PLUNGES THROUGH YOUR SHIELD."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on promo shots for Spawn the Bloodaxe 6" action figure, from Spawn Series 22 "Dark Ages Spawn: The Viking Age," released July 2002 by McFarlane Toys.

MINI-BIO: "Spawn the Bloodaxe, formerly known as Erik the Bloodaxe when he was human, was transformed into something else entirely by the mystical forces of darkness."

-- MCFARLANE TOYS, c. summer 2002

NOTE: The following lyrics were not easy to come by, mind you all, and I don't know many other "fantasy-axe lyrics" out there, haha! I don't listen to CONAN.

"You see me lift the axe, (as) it plunges through your shield, You now begin to panic as you see your chances grow slim, Your running through the endless maze, (You) Turn and I'll be there, A force too strong for you to fight."

-- "Metal Storm/Face the Slayer" (1983) by SLAYER

Invasões, comércio e navegação podem dominar até mesmo o viking mais feroz. Os escandinavos medievais relaxavam com muitos jogos e passatempos vikings. No século XII d.C, um jovem norueguês Kali Kolsson se aventurou em Orkney. Ansioso para provar seu valor, ele listou suas nove habilidades: “Sou rápido em jogar xadrez… Dificilmente esqueço as runas, frequentemente estou lendo um livro ou fazendo artesanato. Consigo deslizar em esquis, atiro e remo então isso faz a diferença, entendo tanto de harpa quanto de poesia.” As habilidades de Kolsson compartilham semelhanças com os passatempos tradicionais da Era Viking (c. 793-1066 d.C). Conforme demonstrado por Kolsson, os jogos viking serviam mais do que apenas para se divertir, eles ofereciam treinamento em estratégia em um mundo medieval volátil.
