	Born in the [[Wessex\|Kingdom of Wessex]], Frideswid bore witness to a [[horse]] accident in her early childhood, in which her sister broke her spine. Frideswid was intrigued by the injuries, and the fact that, while her sister's physical being was gravely damaged, her mind and soul remained intact. Following this incident, Frideswid began a lengthy study of anatomy, in the pursuit of making [[human]]s into something more durable. Some time after her sister's accident, Frideswid lost her entire family to a tragic fire, leaving her without anyone to look out for her.<ref name="ACV"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – Order of the Ancients bio<~~/~~ref~~>		Born in the [[Wessex\|Kingdom of Wessex]], Frideswid bore witness to a [[horse]] accident in her early childhood, in which her sister broke her spine.

	In 873, Frideswid worked from a monastery in [[London\|~~Lundun~~]], where she built a reputation for being able to heal any ailment or injury a man could sustain. She was loved and respected by the community, including the ~~Reeves~~, [[Stowe]] and [[Erke Bodilsson\|Erke]].
