(Explorer)
Freydís Eiríksdóttir played a significant role in the Norse exploration of North America as an early colonist of Vinland. She is featured in medieval sources as a strong woman who made her mark in history. The two Vinland sagas, Saga of the Greenlanders and Saga of Erik the Red, depict Freydís in varying accounts but consistently highlight her as a determined and influential figure in the early European contact with Vinland.
