About shieldmaidenpdx
Hi! I’m Terri, though my friends call me shieldmaidenpdx. I’m a nerd — professional historian by trade — who loves geeking out about the past. I’m fascinated by the Vikings but also history in general, especially of the ancient and medieval worlds, and how we tend to play with it and bend it to our will.
I’m also a runner, Seahawks fan, avid cook, wanna be Icelander, and I love snow.
Interesting information about the Viking Age gleaned from my years of researching, writing, and teaching about them.
