Awilda
Awilda, also known as Alwilda, was a female pirate. The story of Awilda is doubted by some historical scholars and considered to be a legend.
==Legend==
Awilda was the daughter of a 5th-century Scandinavian king;〔Samuel Astley Durham, ''History of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, Volume 3, The cabinet cyclopaedia,'' p. 317 (Longman, Orme, Brown, Green & Longmans and John Taylor, 1840).

Retrieved September 16, 2010.〕 It is said that the King, her father, had arranged a marriage for her to Alf, the crown prince of Denmark,〔 whose father was King Sygarus of Denmark.〔 However, Awilda refused her father's choice.〔〔 She and some of her female friends dressed like sailors and commandeered a ship.〔〔 While sailing, they came across a pirate ship that had recently lost its captain, and the pirates elected Awilda as their captain.〔〔 The King of Denmark sent his son and a navy ship to battle with the "irksome" pirates.〔〔 Prince Alf and his men were able to board their ship and gain the upper hand in the battle.〔〔 Apparently, Awilda was so impressed with the prince's courage that she revealed her true identity, and agreed to marry Alf.〔〔 They married on board, and lived happily ever after as King and Queen of Denmark.〔
