Skagull

Skagul or Skögul (battle) was a valkyrie. She filled Odin's horn with mead, and her name was used in several kennings to denote "war", such as Skögul's wind and Skögul's storm. The kenning Skögul's shirt meant "chainmail".

Sá hon valkyrjur
vítt um komnar
görvar at ríða
til Gođţjóðar:
Skuld hélt skildi,
en Skögul önnur,
Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul
ok Geirskögul;
nú eru talðar
nönnur Herjans,
görvar at ríða
grund valkyrjur.

Völuspá.
