==History==
===Viking Age===
In 872, the [[Vikings]]' leaders [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]] and [[Guthrum]] met with King [[Alfred the Great|Alfred]] of [[Wessex]] to discuss a truce after the [[Battle of Meretun]]. The peace stipulated that the [[Great Heathen Army]] would be given [[silver]] and [[gold]] in return for the assurance that no Dane would cross the Avon to invade.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga]]'' — Chapter 17</ref> 

Within six years, the army returned led solely by [[Guthrum]] but bolstered with the aid of ''[[jarl]]skona'' [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], her allies, and the last [[Sons of Ragnar|Son of Ragnar]] [[Ubba Ragnarsson]]. However, Ubba and his men were [[Battle of Cynwit|ambushed]] and killed near the Avon's [[Afon Blockade|blockade]], a fact that Alfred was informed of and subsequently boasted about to Guthrum and Eivor during a new round of peace talks in [[Wareham]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' — [[Kingdom's End]]</ref> To confirm the truth, Eivor investigated the area and found her friend's corpse and orders from Alfred and [[Reeve]] [[Goodwin]] for [[ealdorman]] [[Odda, Ealdorman of Devon|Odda]] to ensure Ubba's demise.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' — [[Holy Day]]</ref>
