Baugrygr
Baugrygr or Ringkvinna (Ring Woman), was the name of an unmarried Nordic woman who had inherited her the position of head of the family, usually from her father or brother, with all the tasks and rights associated with the position. The position existed in Scandinavia during the Viking Age and the middle ages.
The ringkvinna is primarily mentioned in the icelandic Grágás and the Norwegian Frostating laws and Gulating laws, in which it is phrased in much the same way. Unmarried women in general, referred to as ''maer'' and ''mey'', were secure in their rights of independence: at the age of 20, a woman reached the right of legal majority and had the right to decide about her own place of residence and stand by herself in all juridical senses before the law.〔Borgström Eva : Makalösa kvinnor: könsöverskridare i myt och verklighet (Marvelous women : genderbenders in myth and reality) Alfabeta/Anamma, Stockholm 2002. ISBN 91-501-0191-9 (inb.). Libris 8707902.〕 The one exception to her independence was the right to choose a marriage partner, which was a matter for the whole family.〔Borgström Eva: Makalösa kvinnor: könsöverskridare i myt och verklighet (Marvelous women : genderbenders in myth and reality) Alfabeta/Anamma, Stockholm 2002. ISBN 91-501-0191-9 (inb.). Libris 8707902.〕 The same rights applied to widows. An unmarried woman could also become a ringkvinna. A woman with no son, if unmarried, could become the heir to her father or her brother in their capacity as head of the family. The right to inherit in itself applied to both the paternal aunt, paternal niece and paternal granddaughter of the deceased, who were all named as "odalkvinna", but the right to inherit the position of head of the family was a right which could only be inherited by the daughter or the sister of a dead man.〔Borgström Eva: Makalösa kvinnor: könsöverskridare i myt och verklighet (Marvelous women : genderbenders in myth and reality) Alfabeta/Anamma, Stockholm 2002. ISBN 91-501-0191-9 (inb.). Libris 8707902.〕 The ringkvinna had the specific support of the law to perform all the tasks normally performed by a head of the family, such as, for example, the right to demand and receive fines for the slaughter of a family member.〔Borgström Eva: Makalösa kvinnor: könsöverskridare i myt och verklighet (Marvelous women : genderbenders in myth and reality) Alfabeta/Anamma, Stockholm 2002. ISBN 91-501-0191-9 (inb.). Libris 8707902.〕 If she married, however, these rights were passed on to her spouse. These rights were preserved also after Christianization. They seem to have disappeared in the late 13th century, at which time they are no longer mentioned in any law texts.〔Borgström Eva: Makalösa kvinnor: könsöverskridare i myt och verklighet (Marvelous women : genderbenders in myth and reality) Alfabeta/Anamma, Stockholm 2002.
