Reflection Questions:

1. Discuss why traditionally textbooks have predominantly told the stories of men and not included stories of women.
2. Why it is important to represent the history of both men and women in history texts?
3. Vikings have very straightforward naming conventions. Can you think of some surnames that are common these days and work out where the name may have originated from? (Hint, someone with the surname Baker may have originate from a family who made bread.)
4. Explain why Gunnhild's origins may be contested.
