With Eivor helping by killing members of the religious zealots known as the [[Bellatores Dei]], the clan was able to lay siege to Paris. Invading the walls of the [[Île de la Cité]], Sigfred's forces stormed towards the [[Palais de Justice\|Palais de la Cité]] but a trap was set. Many of Sigfred's men were killed and they were obliged to retreat, resulting in a slaughter of innocent civilians at the church of [[Saint-Étienne]]. As Eivor infiltrated the Palais to force Count [[Odo of France]] to surrender the city and end the bloodshed, the clan formed an uneasy truce with Charles the Fat, earning some [[silver]] and naming Sigfred the Lord of [[Rouen]], an act that Odo, as the rightful lord of Rouen and [[Amiens]], viewed as a betrayal.

	Celebrating the riches they had won, the clan held a festival in Melun. But Sigfred had ~~been delusional~~ with the Norse gods, believing life was only meant for plundering, feasting, and drinking. He wanted to go south and continue ~~to invade~~ Francia but Eivor objected on the grounds that she only wanted to protect her own lands and had not agreed to invade elsewhere. Sigfred, annoyed with Eivor's perceived disloyalty, challenged her to a ''{{Wiki\|holmgang}}'' ~~but Eivor denied it.{{Cite\|7 Apr 2022~~. Eivor ~~can also fight instead.

Deciding~~ to leave the future in Toka's hands ~~he left into the woods to find a new way~~.		Celebrating the riches they had won, the clan held a festival in Melun. But Sigfred had become disillusioned with the Norse gods, believing life was only meant for plundering, feasting, and drinking, while holding fast to his vengeance against Charles and Francia for the loss of his brother. He wanted to march south and continue pillaging Francia but Eivor objected on the grounds that she only wanted to protect her own lands and had not agreed to invade elsewhere. Sigfred, annoyed with Eivor's perceived disloyalty, challenged her to a ''{{Wiki\|holmgang}}''. At the Burial Mounds, Eivor either persuaded him to think what Sinric would have said of his revenge lust and he relented, deciding to leave behind all he knew to find a new way and placing the future in Toka's hands, or accepted his challenge, defeating and killing him.

	With Toka made ''jarlskona'', she sought to ~~gain the trust of Count [[Odo of France\|Odo]]~~. Eivor ~~was sent~~ to deal with Charles and let him live. Odo ~~frustrated by her decision reluctantly made~~ a truce with Elgring Clan. Thanking Eivor, Toka gave her Sinric's old armband, saying she hoped she could one day lead as well as Eivor did.		With Toka made ''jarlskona'', she received Odo and his men-at-arms in Melun, who had left Paris after being slighted by the terms of the truce Charles made with Sigfred and sought an accord with her clan to depose him for good. While Eivor left for Amiens to deal with Charles and ultimately chose to let him live, the summit turned tense. Despite this, Odo found a measure of relief in how Eivor handled Charles and forged a truce with the Elgring Clan, turning his attention to rebuilding Paris and revitalizing Francia. Thanking Eivor, Toka gave her Sinric's old armband, saying she hoped she could one day lead as well as Eivor did.

	Sometime before the [[Siege of Paris (885–886)\|Siege of Paris]], Sinric was ~~murdered in his sleep, as the men of Charles the Fat,~~ led by [[Scholar\|Bishop]] [[Engelwin]], infiltrated Melun and ~~mutilated Sinric~~. ~~The body was~~ left ~~out in the open~~, it was unrecognizable ~~but Sigfred recognized~~ the ~~carving~~ that Sinric ~~had won~~ from ~~him when they were children~~. Sinric's body was buried ~~right~~ outside Melun, a ~~Runestone~~ marking the grave. ~~This event~~ led to Sigfred being crowned the new jarl and fueled his lust for revenge against Charles the Fat.		Sometime before the [[Siege of Paris (885–886)\|Siege of Paris]], Sinric was killed when [[soldier]]s led by [[Scholar\|Bishop]] [[Engelwin]] infiltrated Melun and murdered him in his sleep.

Sinric's body was buried in the clan's [[Burial Mounds]] outside Melun, with a large [[runes]]tone marking the grave. Sinric's murder led to Sigfred being crowned the new ''jarl'' and fueled his lust for revenge against Charles the Fat.<ref name="WarlordOfMelun"/>

	In 885, preparing for his attack on the city of [[Paris]], Sigfred sent his niece Toka to [[England]] to enlist more ~~Jarls~~ to join in the fight. Finding no help from other clans, she sailed to [[Ravensthorpe]]~~, setting~~ up a small guest house ~~and enlisting~~ [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] to join the siege.
