The River Dee is a river in the United Kingdom, flowing through parts of both Wales and England, and thus serving as part of the border between the two countries. The river was named for the Celtic goddess Aerfen, which in turn inspired the name of the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In the 870s, during the Viking expansion into England, the shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan found clues relating the River to Saint George's legacy while raiding Rivers Exe and Severn. She brought these clues to Vagn, who marked the river on her map and warned her that the was well-guarded.[2] She eventually found Saint George's Armor and Great Helm inside fortifications along the river.[3] At Deva Victrix, a military installation along the Dee, she fought the river champion and recovered George's sword from him.[4]
