Walkyrie
Walkyrie in Anglo-Saxon England, any of a group of supernatural female warriors supposed to ride through the air over battlefields and decide who should die, the equivalent of the Scandinavian Valkyrie; the word in Old English is found as rendering the name of the Roman war-goddess Bellona, or designating the Furies or Gorgons of classical mythology.
