Saw this story on the news feed and immediately thought of Nancy Cole's "The Legend of Alfhildr"

"The ancient warrior was given a prestigious Viking burial, complete with deadly Viking weapons, a bag of gaming pieces (possibly to represent military command) and two horses, one bridled for riding.

"The Legend of Alfhildr" is a great story if you haven't read it you should. Great to read again if it's been a while.
