Hi, sry, I'm bad at editing ...
Simon Coupland, History (Wiley), Volume 88, Issue 290 (2003) pp. 186-203:
Nor, surprisingly, is there clear evidence of Viking rape: certainly they were not known for ‘rape and pillage’ in the ninth century.
Fourth Wave Feminism in Science Fiction and Fantasy Vol 2. Ed V.E: Frankel, McFarland and Co, 2020:
«Historically, Vikings appear to have shunned rape, as it goes unmentioned in all the Annals of St Bertin's description of pillaging, though the rapes committed by Christian kings are repeatedly mentioned (Sawyer 47).» (p 65). These episodes involved christian Franks that raped (or tried to rape) a nun and two other women of high social rank. In all cases, the women fled to the Vikings for their protection.

Googling for "Vikings sexual slavery" (I know, shotgun approach) gave a series of hits from a variety of sources, with, probably, a variety of reliability. Many hits also have almost identical wording, apparently copied from 'source X'. One article in History.com (RS or not? No clue.) - https://www.history.com/news/viking-slavery-raids-evidence - has the benefit of containing _all_ the snippets spread out over a number of other hits. Then there is this curious item: https://sciencenorway.no/forskningno-history-norway/was-rape-common-in-the-middle-ages/1452223 - which may be regarded as an interested party :); and besides, the topic is extended to the Middle Ages, not only the Viking Age. This title speaks for itself, although to conclude from this that there were no rapes is probably SYNTH or worse: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22530134-300-ancient-invaders-transformed-britain-but-not-its-dna/. However, nothing came up wrt. Spain or Russia - sources may perhaps not be online. What ae your thooughts on differentiating between rape as part of raiding, and sexual slavery as part of the serf system? T84.208.86.134 (talk) 09:36, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
