Who is Lagertha in Vikings?
The shieldmaiden · House Lothbrok
Lagertha (The shieldmaiden) is a character in Vikings, part of House Lothbrok. Lagertha is a famed shieldmaiden, a farmer, Ragnar's wife and his equal — a woman who fights beside the men in the raids west and runs the farm and family with the same iron competence at home.

Lagertha bows to no one for long, and her pride will shape her path as much as her axe does.
