	==Trivia==		==Trivia==
	*Herefrith's character is loosely based on {{Wiki\|Louth, Lincolnshire#St Herefrith of Louth\|St. Herefrith of Louth}}, who was a Bishop of Lincolnshire later revered as a saint. He died around 873, possibly killed by the Danes.<ref>{{WP\|Louth, Lincolnshire#St Herefrith of Louth\|St. Herefrith of Louth}}</ref>		*Herefrith's character is loosely based on {{Wiki\|Louth, Lincolnshire#St Herefrith of Louth\|St. Herefrith of Louth}}, who was a Bishop of Lincolnshire later revered as a saint.

	*In deciding who would be the next ealdorman of Lincolnshire, Eivor may be led to choose either Herefrith, Hunwald, or Aelfgar. If Eivor chooses either of the latter two, Herefrith will reveal his Order ties ~~automatically~~ after the announcement and flee the moot after ordering his guards to kill everyone in attendance. If Eivor chooses Herefrith instead, the bishop will still reveal his identity as The Crozier, albeit off-screen and at a later time, prompting Eivor to return to Lincolnscire to deal with him.		*In deciding who would be the next ealdorman of Lincolnshire, Eivor may be led to choose either Herefrith, Hunwald, or Aelfgar.

	*Like several of his fellow Order members, including [[Blaeswith]], [[Ingeborg]] and [[Frideswid]], Herefrith feigned his belief in [[Christianity]] because it benefited the Order's goals. In reality, he believed in the "true" [[Isu\|Gods]] that had created humanity.		*Like several of his fellow Order members, including [[Blaeswith]], [[Ingeborg]] and [[Frideswid]], Herefrith feigned his belief in [[Christianity]] because it benefited the Order's goals.

	Around 875, following Hundbeorht's disappearance, Herefrith assumed ''de facto'' leadership of the county, maintaining peace and order ~~until~~ in the ealdorman's absence. While talking with Acha at the Lincoln town hall, the bishop met Eivor, who arrived accompanying [[Hunwald]], Hundbeorht's son. Herefrith briefly scolded Hunwald's love towards [[Swanburrow]] before the young man inquired about his father's whereabouts, which neither the bishop nor the abbess were able to provide.

	After Eivor delivered the news of Hundbeorht's death, Herefrith and Aelfgar discussed the topic of a new ealdorman for the shire, while Acha tried to comfort a depressed Hunwald. Ultimately, the bishop and the ''thegn'' decided to have a moot for all nobles in the region, in order to elect a new ealdorman. As Eivor turned to leave, Herefrith stopped her and apologized for his earlier prejudice against the Viking, claiming he wanted to start again on good terms.<ref name="Absence" />		After Eivor delivered the news of Hundbeorht's death, Herefrith and Aelfgar discussed the topic of a new ealdorman for the shire, while Acha tried to comfort a depressed Hunwald.
