Brief Bio

Gunnr and Róta are two of the named Valkyries in Norse mythology, specifically referenced in the Völuspá,  Helgakviða Hundingsbana II and the Prose Edda. Gunnr's name is an Old Norse term that translates to "battle". Some scholars connect Róta's name to the Old Norse word "róta," meaning "sleet and storm," suggesting she might be a goddess associated with storms.

The Valkyries Gunnr, Rota, and the young norn Skuld were said to decide the outcome of battles, and, at its conclusion, would ride out to take the slain.
