Description
Inktober DAY 29 PatchIrish - Celtic mythology theme banféinní were women warriors of the Fianna*meaning 'female warrior-hunter'. It's not clear whether they had their own battalion, or whether they were ranked alongside their male counterparts. There are not many women warriors mentioned by name in the stories of the Fianna*. But Celtic women could choose to be trained as warriors. There were even some who trained warriors themselves. ... But women were allowed to bear arms, train for battle, train others for battle, plan strategy, and fight to the death alongside the men.
*Fianna were small, semi-independent warrior bands in Irish mythology.
