Shieldmaiden from the new album coming later this year.
(Viking Saga Part 2)

A shieldmaiden could be young or old, married or single, muscular or willowy. It was not unheard of for a shieldmaiden to leave her home to fight for a cause or go raiding, only to return and reengage with domesticity, get married, and/or have children. Some shieldmaidens were warriors for life, while others died young or sought more quiet lives after adventure. Shieldmaidens would have used all the weaponry available to male warriors at the time, and there are accounts of women going viking and fighting in shield walls with their male warrior compatriots.

The most famous Shieldmaiden today is Lagerther.
Lagertha's tale is recorded in passages in the ninth book of the Gesta Danorum, a twelfth-century work of Danish history by the Christian historian Saxo Grammaticus.

Lagertha's career as a warrior began when Frø, king of Sweden, invaded Norway and killed the Norwegian king Siward. Frø put the women of the dead king's family into a brothel for public humiliation. Hearing of this, Ragnar Lodbrok came with an army to avenge his grandfather Siward. Many of the women Frø had ordered abused dressed themselves in men's clothing and fought on Ragnar's side. Chief among them, and key to Ragnar's victory.

Ladgerda, a skilled Amazon, who, though a maiden, had the courage of a man, and fought in front among the bravest with her hair loose over her shoulders. All marvelled at her matchless deeds, for her locks flying down her back betrayed that she was a woman.

Impressed with her courage, Ragnar courted her from afar. Lagertha feigned interest and Ragnar arrived to seek her hand, bidding his companions wait in the Gaular valley. He was set upon by a bear and a great hound which Lagertha had guarding her home, but killed the bear with his spear and choked the hound to death. Thus he won the hand of Lagertha. According to Saxo, Ragnar had a son with her, Fridleif, as well as two daughters, whose names are not recorded.

Biography:

CORVUS CORAX, pioneers of modern medieval music, are approaching a turning point in their 22 years long band history: after several line-up changes the band is now presenting itself in their best of shapes yet and is about to enter musical virgin soil. Right now, the musicians are turning towards medieval songs and hymns from Northern Europe. Their new album "SVERKER" (release 25/11/2011) contains unforeseen treasures from Scandinavian and Celtic origins. Starting on 25/11/2011 the band will be on club tour with "SVERKER" extensively. CORVUS CORAX will present a new live show, combining powerful and partly martial songs of Viking heritage with dance music and ballads. The typical CORVUS CORAX sound of bagpipes, a huge hurdy-gurdy, cittern and a large variety of percussion instruments will merge all of these musical styles together brilliantly. In addition, as experienced fans of CORVUS CORAX might already know, new and especially built instruments can be seen on stage during this tour.
