Viking women commanded ships and settled colonies. They took up arms and negotiated with emperors. Their traces can now be discovered all the way from America to Kiev. Without their biographies the period of the Vikings stays incomplete.  This is the story of Sigrun, in Norway, in the year 872.

Part 1: Sigrun's Wrath And The Discovery Of Iceland

Viking influence stretches from the Baltic to the Black Sea in 1072.  Jova, a young Viking woman, goes in search of her warrior father, and her quest takes us to the Viking communities transitioning to kingdoms and undergoing the transformation to Christianity.

Part 2: Jova's Heritage And The Fall Of Haithabu

The Vikings changed Europe forever, yet half of them have almost completely disappeared from collective memory: the women.
