Many Viking women rose to positions of power and influence as priestesses and oracles in ancient culture. Many became poets, keeping on the oral traditions of the Vikings and passing them on to the next generation. The mythical shieldmaidens, female warriors who battled alongside men on the battlefield, were the most famous Viking ladies. Scholars continue to debate their existence, however, there is evidence from Byzantine Empire documents that they did exist.
