She was feared as a witch, hated as a queen and forgotten by history.
Now, for the first time, Gunnhild, Queen of Norway, finally gets her own saga.
Bloodaxe – The Saga of Queen Gunnhild is a gripping, visually stunning graphic novel that reimagines the life of one of the Viking Age’s most fascinating and misunderstood women. Married to King Erik Bloodaxe, who murdered his brothers to seize the throne, Gunnhild was mother to eight warrior sons and a strategist in her own right.
For centuries, she’s been portrayed as manipulative and cruel. But in this version, she’s revealed as a complex, intelligent woman fighting to protect her family in a violent, male-dominated world. Blending drama, history and myth, this is Viking storytelling at its most powerful.
