Learnings: Who Was in the "Army"?

The Scandinavians could have been accompanied by descendants from Viking settlements in Francia, Friesland, the Scottish islands, and Ireland, lured by the promise of wealth and new social opportunities.
The settlers came from both common folk and aristocracy, but all of them shared the hope of building a new life. Women were certainly present; some travelled independently, while others followed and supported their families or households on their journey. Like everyone else, women put their shoulders to the wheel to build a new life in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
