But how local woman shall chose "the best" ? It all changed non-stop. Riches and money ? Easy to get and easy to lose with your own life. With known husband and position with him sure and clear.
Idea of harem of many concubines competing for one husband ?
In the society where women were allowed to fight in the shield wall and where vengence were literal religious and honorable duty ? Those women would start to slaughter themselves soon without monogamy !
Sounds like you've been watching too much hollywood, bro.

It's NOT woke joke,that were really happening.
Multiple historical sources including Saxo Grammaticus.
Let's be clear: you WOULDN'T want to piss off your wife in those times if you were Viking. They were NOT fragile "princess",and some of them were able and strong enough to kill a male.
And by the way: you would be then fucking PROUD of having such wife anyway - not scared, as both strong parents (such women wouldn't chose a weakling for husband) = so great children (probably).

All from your source. Bro, testosterone is a performance enhancing drug and synthetic versions that can boost one's levels haven't even been around for a century yet. Even an extreme outlier strong woman is going to be weaker than an average man.
