Childhood in the Viking Age — WHE Article Discussion

Childhood in the Viking Age (c. 750-1100) was largely undocumented as historical records primarily focus on adults, particularly men. Likewise, little is known about children's presence in the afterlife, as no runestones were raised in their memory. While a few objects interpreted as toys have been discovered, evidence of how children spent their time or what they did for amusement is scarce.
