Having emigrated to [[England]] along with other Vikings, Valdis at some point entered a relationship with Oswald, the heir to the throne of East Anglia.<ref name="Fury from the Sea">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[A Fury from the Sea]]</ref> However, Oswald was believed to have been slain by [[Rued]], a Viking opposed to Oswald's rule.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[Raising Iron]]</ref> Following this, Valdis joined and helped recruit villagers in [[North Elmham|Elmenham]] to a [[raid]]ing party led by [[Eivor]] against Rued's [[fort]] of [[Burgh Castle]] to avenge Oswald. Within the base, they discovered that Oswald instead was imprisoned instead of slain, and managed to free the man.<ref name="Fury from the Sea" />

After recovering from the raid on Burgh Castle, Valdis and Oswald were wed in Elmenham. During the reception, the newlyweds swore loyalty to Eivor and their [[Raven Clan]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[Wedding Horns]]</ref> Soon after being wed, Valdis became pregnant with Oswald's child.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[Floating conversations]]: "Raven Clan Allies: East Anglia"</ref>
