Shieldmaidens are known for their bravery and ruthlessness in battle and Lagertha is no exception.
When her home in Norway was overrun by the forces of King Froh of Sweden, she and the other female members of her household were taken captive. Forced into service in a brothel was too much and Lagertha led a bloody revolt with the help of the hero Ragnar.
In battle, she relished close combat, the bloodier the better. She even took great pleasure in collecting certain body parts she would cut off the bodies of the men who wronged her after she killed them. Bloody revenge is sooo sweet.
This is the first of two plastic Lagertha pieces from Ragnarök that I have painted this month.
