Freydís Eiríksdóttir – Vikings Series | Official Lost Archives Scroll Edition

Printed on parchment-style paper, this 8.5x11 scroll brings the remarkable story of Freydís Eiríksdóttir — Vinland Voyager and Fierce Daughter of Erik the Red — to life in stunning detail. She carried the hard edge of Norse expansion into Vinland, the far western land discovered by her father.

• Recovered Record — Freydís is known from the Vinland Sagas, the medieval Icelandic narratives of Norse exploration in North America. The archeological site at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland confirms a Norse presence in Vinland around the year 1000, matching the era of the sagas
• Historical Account — Freydís was the daughter of Erik the Red and grew up in Greenland. She sailed to Vinland and is said to have taken part in the settlement there. The sagas preserve differing accounts of her life, but both remember her as headstrong, resourceful, and unafraid in times of danger
• When the Story Is Told — Her story is told when courage is needed in the face of adversity — when the will to stand firm protects those who would otherwise be lost. Freydís reminds us that Viking exploration was driven by more than raiders; it was also a struggle to build new lives in distant lands
• Did You Know? — Freydís appears in both the Saga of Erik the Red and the Saga of the Greenlanders. One famous story describes how she stood her ground and frightened off attackers in Vinland when others were fleeing
• Words of Wisdom — "Be strong and of a good courage… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9
