Skogul is a Norse Viking boat name.
It is one of the vessels used by the main characters of the Canadian-Irish series Vikings, which follows the exploits of the legendary Viking chief Ragnar Lodbrok and his family.
Eskogul is one of the valkyries that formed the personal guard of the Viking kings and her name means “agitator” or “very tall.”
According to an ancient Viking poem, Hákonarmál, Skogul and Göndul were sent by Odin to choose warriors who would die in battle and join him in Valhalla.
