What is Ben Raffield, Neil Price & Mark Collard - "Polygyny, Concubinage, and The Social Lives of Women in in Viking-Age Scandinavia" (2017) about?

In this paper we utilize evolutionary theory, anthropological data, and historical sources to explore how marriage practices shaped social behaviours and attitudes towards gender in Viking-Age Scandinavia. We focus primarily on the normative practices of polygyny and concubinage, which have been shown by anthropological studies to legitimize behaviours that reinforce male power. Our survey found that many of these behaviours might have been prevalent among Viking-Age societies.
