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).
>are considered fictional
>cited a lack of evidence for trained or regular female warriors
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.
Bro,some of those women probably had more of testosterone than you have (and were able to have children though). No need of busting it, they had more "gym" than you can ever have. But they were a bit ugly at the cost (but: everybody was then)
Example in current times how it work even to this day:

Clear and simple ?
Oh, and it doesn't matter as you doesn't have to arm wrestle with venomous snake to survive - this is not the way to deal with snakes.And battles. Woman can be like those snakes.Those women needed to be strong enough,it weren't about being the strongest one on the battlefield.
Worse:
1. Women can be hard-bitten and can be fierce. Too fierce for honorable battle, so fierce like wolf wanting to get into your neck.
Ruthless like wild animal. That's no accident that church forbid women in battle. They wanted to forbid crossbow and arrows too as not humanitarian and not honorable.
2. Adrenaline>>Testosterone.
Before men fighting those women got his adrenaline rush he were fighting weaker version of Berkserker and so he was quite often dead despite being stronger in theory.
3.Elasticity of the body = Evasion of strikes.
PS: If I am wrong WHY,fucking why jews are endangering their women in their military ? Only stupid feminism ? XD No. Women being ruthless and fierce.
