Freydís Eiríksdóttir Shield Maiden T-Shirt – Norse Viking Warrior Woman
The Freydís Eiríksdóttir Shield Maiden T-shirt is a premium T-shirt which features an image of the legendary Shield Maiden with sword and shield in hand and is available in 5 Colours.
This tee bears the name and spirit of Freydís Eiríksdóttir — daughter of Erik the Red, sister of Leif Erikson, and one of the most fearless women in the Norse sagas. The woman who faced down hostile warriors in Vinland, pregnant, with a sword in hand. Lightweight but substantial, the shirt sits easy on the shoulders and moves with you — like armour softened for everyday life. Wear it when you want to feel steadier in a crowd, at a folk night, a reenactment, or a quiet evening by the hearth remembering stories of voyaging and defiance. For people who collect history, myth, and courage in small, wearable pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Freydís Eiríksdóttir?
Freydís Eiríksdóttir was a Norse explorer and the daughter of Erik the Red, sister of Leif Erikson. She sailed to Vinland (North America) around 1000 AD and is recorded in the Icelandic sagas as a fierce warrior who faced down hostile attackers — pregnant, bare-chested, and armed with a sword. She is one of the few Viking Age women whose deeds were recorded by name.
What fabric is this t-shirt made from?
It is made from the Gildan 5000 blank — 100% cotton, medium-weight fabric. It has a clean, structured feel with a tubular knit construction (no side seams) and a ribbed collar with shoulder tape to hold its shape over time.

The t-shirt is available in five colours: Light Blue, Light Pink, Sand, White, and Yellow Haze.
What sizes does it come in?
Sizes range from S to 5XL. Please refer to the size guide above for exact measurements before ordering.
Does it run true to size?
The Gildan 5000 has a classic, slightly boxy unisex fit. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down. The size guide measurements are chest width (not circumference), so double the width figure to get your chest measurement.
