http://www.vikingage.com/vac/women.html
there is a good article by the Viking Answer Lady on marriage at:
http://www.realtime.net/~gunnora/
(amongst other topics). Very good for colour especially on courting etc (blood-feuds against suitors who fail to propose, the thing as a marriage market etc.
There is a lot less useful information on AS marrage but some information on AS marriage customs is at:
http://narnia.tky.hut.fi/tape/aswomen.html
Hope some people found these postings useful.
