Best Answer

Freydis Eriksdotter, daughter of famed Norse explorer, Erik the Red, and brother to Leif Erickson, explored because she wanted the prestige and wealth associated with exploration. After her brothers exploration of Vinland, she made a deal with two Icelandic men to go into partnership with another Vinland exploration, halving all profits. Along the way, she betrayed the partners, killed them, and when she returned home, told all they chose to remain behind.
