Róta

Róta

Róta is a valkyrie in Norse mythology. According to the Prose Edda she attended the battlefields along with Gunnr and Skuld and chose those who were to be slain then taken to Valhalla. Apart from this mention she otherwise unattested.

Her name occurs in the kenning "reifandi gnýþings götva geir-Rótu" meaning "the naughty enricher of the loud congress of the garments of spear-Róta", i.e. "warrior". [http://www.hi.is/~eybjorn/ugm/kennings/r2voca.html]
