I guess its very possible in those times that the woman was killed to be buried with the warrior for the afterlife....

This is about an actual Viking burial - unlike the one you keep fantasizing about happening in 1700.

Buried just below the Young Warrior -- probably at the same time -- Buko said-is a woman in her early 20s who may have met a similarly violent end. Though evidence is scanty, Buko guesses she was killed to be buried with the man, "because it's very hard to suppose she died at the same moment as the warrior." No, actually he was her swordbearer. He was killed to be buried with the woman, the sea serpent got away...

Though evidence is scanty, Buko guesses she was killed to be buried with the man, "because it's very hard to suppose she died at the same moment as the warrior." I am adding quite a bit of supposition, but if they were a married couple, it is possible that they were killed at the same time, at home, in a raid.

I guess the burial scene at the beginning of “13th Warrior” was more accurate than first thought.

Nat’l Geographic was ruined by lefties a generation ago. So sad. I don't buy anything they say anymore and their cable channel is lame.
