  1. A friend of mine argues this article has no reference and, in fact, he is right. If someone had better information or information which could invalidate this article, feel free to let us know.

  2. The real article this article is based on came out many months ago at least (possibly a couple of years), but the conclusion I recall was that half of Vikings were female, not that half the warriors were female.
