Description

Thjodhild (Þjóðhild) stands on the low wall surrounding the reconstructed Viking Age church at the Viking settlement of Brattahlíð (Qassiarsuk), Greenland. This was the settlement where Erik the Red lived. Although he was a pagan, his wife Þjóðhild was a Christian and persuaded him to let her build a church there.
