Cordelia (died 870s) was the youngest daughter of Lerion, an East Anglian ealdorman who plotted to kill the Mercian king Burgred. The plot was foiled by King Edmund of East Anglia before it had hatched, leading to Lerion's arrest and execution for treason. Cordelia and her sisters, fearing they would suffer their father's fate or worse, fled into the fens of East Anglia and disappeared.[1]

In the 870s, the Raven Clan Viking Eivor Varinsdottir fought and killed Cordelia while exploring England, claiming her dagger.[2]
