The Birka female Viking warrior was a woman buried with the accoutrements of an elite professional Viking warrior in a 10th century chamber-grave in Birka, Sweden. Thought to be a male warrior since the grave’s excavation in 1889, the remains have been proved to be female by both osteological analysis and a DNA study in 2017.
