Human beings as other people's property or commodities is an injustice that has been documented from early history to the present. Wars and raids were undertaken to kidnap people and sell them as slaves. Slave traders often acted as middlemen before the abductees were sold at slave markets.

Slavery already existed in ancient China, in Mesopotamia, among the Greeks and Romans. Slaves were also a sought-after trade commodity in the early Middle Ages, but later people of the same faith were protected. But that didn't stop Christians from enslaving Muslims and vice versa. Even Orthodox Christians were enslaved by Roman Catholics. At the beginning of the Modern Era, the intercontinental slave trade gained momentum...

The fate of the slaves was, in a worse case, in long hard work under bad conditions in construction, in mines, on galleys, in prostitution, or in agriculture – and in the better case, in making the lives of wealthy people easier or in becoming unwillingly wives of wild, strange men... In each case, families were torn apart, people are robbed of their homeland, their culture, their language and their free will.

The economy and way of life in the Roman Empire were based on slavery to an important part, the plantation economy in the European colonies in America could not have functioned without slaves, the Viking settlers in Iceland would have died out without kidnapped women from other countries...

Against the background of the cruel and brutal reality, these and other images look rather harmless...

Maybe the Irish woman will be lucky in misfortune and marry an Icelander...
Genetic studies show that although today's Icelandic men are predominantly descended from Scandinavians (characteristics on the y chromosome), a significant proportion of women are from Ireland, Britain and from Normandy (evidence via mitochondrial DNA). These are countries that particularly suffered from Viking raids in the Middle Ages...
The Vikings even abducted Indian women from North America to bring them to Iceland as wives; this origin could also be proven for some Icelandic women today...

Here is another stolen Irish bride by DominiGori:
