'''Leofrith''' was an [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] nobleman who served as a ''[[thegn]]'' to King [[Burgred of Mercia|Burgred]] of [[Mercia]] during the late 9th century, until the king's deposal by the [[Sons of Ragnar]] with help from [[Sigurd Styrbjornson]], [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], and [[Ceolwulf II of Mercia|Ceolwulf II]].

==Biography==
Leofrith was a thegn of King Burgred of Mercia and was a former ally of [[Ceolbert]], having taught him how to wield a sword. Before the Siege of Tamworth, Leofrith rallied a group of men to ambush Ragnarsson's War Camp. During the chaos, [[Ivarr the Boneless|Ivarr]] threw an axe to Leofrith's back causing him to retreat.{{Cite}}

At the Siege of Tamworth, Leofrith stood aside with Burgred while he spoke with the Ragnarssons. Even though Leofrith tried to convince Burgred to consider their offers, Burgred refused with anger. He left Tamworth either during or before the battle begun.{{Cite}}

After the fall of Tamworth, Leofrith began to order food to be stored in [[Leicester|Ledecestre]]'s Church and in old bathhouse, secure Lady [[Æthelswith]] in [[Templebrough Fort|Templebrough]], and ordered one of her servants to acts as a decoy. He returned to Ledecestre's Bathhouse to check the progress which Ceolbert eavesdropped on.{{Cite}}

Following the fall of Templebrough and Ledecestre, Leofrith led an army to burn down Repton. Leofrith chased Ceolbert down a street where he challenged him to a duel. Eivor came to the rescue and tried to reason with him as the attacking army had been defeated and there was no need for more blood to be spilled. Regardless, Leofrith fought with Eivor and lost, presenting her with the choice to kill or spare him. If she spared him, he warned her of a scroll in [[Venonis]] that would cause all [[Zealots]] to hunt her, before leaving [[England]] for [[Rome]].{{Cite}}
