If there is one thing we love here at N&A, It’s women who kick royal ass. And, seeing as the History Channel epic started this month, what better way to celebrate this than dedicating Thursdays to the warrior women of Vikings. Today we will be focusing on my personal fave, Siggy, as well as a viking lucet DIY.

–Spoilers for both seasons –

Siggy is the widow of the late Earl Haraldson and lover of Rollo Lothbrook. She is known for her fierce loyalty to those she believes deserves it, as well as her cunning.

During her time with Earl Haraldson, she was loved by all. She acted as the Earl’s wife should, encouraging him in battles and gaining the trust of her people. But beneath all of that is a fierce and calculated mind, one that can manipulate a situation to benefit her and her family.

When her husband lost the battle against Ragnar, she murdered her daughter’s husband (who was loyal to Earl Haraldson) and defected to Ragnar’s side. She then integrated herself into the Lothbrook home, as a slave and then as Rollo Lothbrook’s lover.
