Growing up, Beoswith spent his time reading compositions by various notable bards in the Anglo-Saxon world, including {{Wiki|Cædmon}}, [[Bede]], {{Wiki|Cynewulf}} and [[Brissy the Elder]]. He was also in a relationship with a woman named Cearo, who died during the [[Viking expansion|Viking incursions]] into [[England]] when an arrow stroke her left breast. Beoswith was devasted by her death and spent his time playing and weeping at the [[Boar's Taverna]] south of [[Readingum Abbey]].<ref name="ACV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[The Devil Has All The Best Tunes]]</ref>

In time, Beoswith devised a plan to avenge her death. He added poison into a bucket of beer, while making use of his flute skills to attract the passing Vikings, who would no doubt indulge on the beer to celebrate. During the session, Beoswith encountered the [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] who was passing by, and invited her to join the celebrations. Eivor accepted and challenged one of the warriors to a drinking duel, which stopped halfway when the Vikings and Eivor began feeling effects of the poison. While all the warriors passed out from the poison, Eivor was the only one able to resist the poison effects enough to fight Beoswith, who openly declared war against all Danes. However, Beoswith was soon cut down by Eivor, unable to avenge his beloved.<ref name="ACV" />
