A Sámi from northern Scandinavia, Soma grew up an orphan and later joined the army of the Viking leader Guthrum. When the invaded England, Soma joined Guthrum and the Ragnarssons' Great Heathen Army, during which time she grew close to Guthrum and Ubba Ragnarsson. Eventually, Soma rose up the ranks and became jarlskona under Guthrum, co-leading the Great Summer Army in Grantebridgescire.[2] Following the capture of Grantebridge from Mercia, Soma volunteered to defend the city, allowing Guthrum to continue southwards to invade Wessex. In time, Soma turned Grantebridge into a prosperous city and gained three close advisors in Birna, Galinn, and Lif.[3]
