==History==
===Viking Age===
In 872, the [[Vikings]]' leaders [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]] and [[Guthrum]] met with King [[Alfred the Great|Alfred]] of [[Wessex]] after the [[Battle of Meretun]] to discuss a truce. The peace stipulated that the [[Great Heathen Army]] were given [[silver]] and [[gold]] in return of no [[Denmark|Danes]] crossing the Avon river to invade.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga]]'' — Chapter 17</ref> Within six years, the army returned, led solely by [[Guthrum]], with the aid of ''[[jarl]]skona'' [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], her allies, and the last [[Sons of Ragnar|Son of Ragnar]] [[Ubba Ragnarsson]]. However, along the Avon river and near its [[Afon Blockade|blockade]], Ubba and his men were [[Battle of Cynwit|ambushed]] and killed by Lord [[Odda, Ealdorman of Devon|Odda]] under Alfred's orders.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' — [[Kingdom's End]]</ref>

To confirm the truth, Eivor went to investigate and unfortunately found her friend killed and evidence of Alfred and [[Reeve]] [[Goodwin]]'s part in the demise of the last Son of Ragnar.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[Holy Day]]</ref>
