In Norse mythology, what was a female warrior called?

ride of the Valkyrie, great tune, by Richard Wagner...

this question gives a wrong answer the Valerie's were supernatural being who took those who died in battle clutching their weapon up to Valhalla to sit at the table of the gods, not female warriors.

Mythology is so exciting and expressive.

The question was who were the VALKYRIE ? not Valerie ; as someone stated .

i love the name sm

Lorraine, The answer should be shield maiden

Lorraine , No ! That’s a myth.

I'm not a Valkyrie

Goodboy, I second that!

Lorraine , My thoughts exactly.
