Genetics spoke about the role of wives in the life of the Vikings


The Vikings went on a long journey together with their own spouses, learned scientists who examined the DNA of ancient mariners.

It turns out that maternal DNA medieval Scandinavians - the same as the modern inhabitants of the Islands of the North Atlantic: therefore, capture and settle newest territory, the Vikings were together with their own spouses.

Research on this topic is presented in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, and briefly about it informs Live Science.

The image of the Vikings as inhuman villains, robbing power Europe and the Mediterranean, and wives involving yourself among the local population, adopted some research geneticists. However the Norwegian biologists led by Erika Hagelberg (Erika Hagelberg) from the Institute of Oslo decided to re-raise this issue, and removed from mtDNA DNA from bones of 45 Viking skeletons Dating back 796-1066 years). These skeletons were excavated in different parts of the state, and are currently stored in Oslo.

Then the researchers compared these materials with mitochondrial DNA 5191 modern Europeans, and 68 medieval Icelanders. On the maternal line of the ancient Scandinavians were close relatives of modern North Atlantic Nations (Swedes, Scots, and Britons, and especially the inhabitants of the Orkney and Shetland Islands). Therefore, together with men-robbers on the new site has arrived and their spouses with children.

"When, instead of occasional raids came time constant hikes, the Vikings are starting to bring their own families, who initially remained in military camps," says Jan bill (Jan Bill), curator of the Museum of Viking ships.

Currently, the researchers intend to study the contact between the medieval Europeans, by comparing the DNA of the Scandinavians with genetic material of medieval English and Scots.
