Vikings Valhalla Frida Gustavsson as Freydis Eirkisdottir
Summary Vikings: Valhalla features many characters based on real-life historical figures from the Viking Age, among them Freydis , but the show made many changes and additions to her story. Set over 100 years after the events of Vikings, Vikings: Valhalla follows a new group of characters from the final years of the Viking Age, whose stories were influenced by the characters and events of the main series.
The real-life Freydis is mentioned in the two Vinland sagas written during the medieval time period: the Saga of the Greenlanders and the Saga of Erik the Red. Freydis was the daughter of Erik the Red, but there is some conflicting information regarding whether she was Leif’s full sister or half-sister. Vikings: Valhalla leaves out quite a bit of who Freydis really was, most likely to better have her fit within the already somewhat fictionalized storyline.
Was Valhalla's Freydis Really A Viking Shield-Maiden? Vikings: Valhalla Saw Freydis Training As A Shield-Maiden Shield-maidens, female Viking warriors, are surrounded by their own mythology. While some historians believe women fought alongside men during this time, others have said that there isn’t enough evidence to suggest that this is true.

Let's take a look. After the three ran into several disagreements, Freydis told her husband, a man who is not included in Vikings: Valhalla’s characters at all, that the two men had beaten her and that he should kill them on her behalf, and so he did. However, when he refused to kill the women in the camp, Freydis took up an ax and did it herself. Because of her actions and her unorthodox lifestyle, she had a rather tumultuous relationship with her brother, Leif, which is not the case in Valhalla.
Introducing Erik the Red in Vikings: Valhalla season 3 also required changing Freydis' story, as it's unclear how good or bad her relationship with her father was.
