According to Norse mythology, the Valkyries(also called Valkyrjor) were the daughters or attendants of Odin, the chief god (also called Wotan). The Norse believed the Valkyries came to battlefield, chose those who would die, and carried them back to Valhalla (a fallen warrior can be seen here in front of a Valkyrie). Their leader was Brynhild (also spelled Brunhild, Brunhilde, Brynhildr). This illustration dates to 1913.
