Euphrasia (died 886) was a Frankish high-ranking religious figure, who served as a nun, apparently blessed by the spirit of Saint Taurinus. A member of the religious zealotical Bellatores Dei, she was known to the populace as "Little Mother," who helped those inflicted with devils through "deliverance."[1]
Biography
Not much is known about Euphrasia, except for her encounter of being saved from burning alive, by the spirit of Saint Taurinus. However, during her tenure as "Little Mother", she was in charge of people receiving deliverance from places all around, such as Evreux and the village, Aquila. During her time, Euphrasia was personally responsible for the capture and attempted sacrificial murder of Queen Richardis.[2]
The Siege of Paris
When the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan arrived in Evreux, Eivor heard that a person by the moniker of "Little Mother" was at the church for prayer. Investigating Richardis' location, she headed to Church of Saint Taurinus and blended in to hear the prayer. Euphrasia introduced herself and how she worked tirelessly to help those inflicted with demons and for them to seek deliverance. However, Euphrasia hinted that there was no exceptions from the pauper to the king or queen. Taking note of this, Eivor looked for the Little Mother, but Euphrasia left during prayer. From further investigation, Eivor learned that a woman's husband was brought for deliverance to Little Mother to Aquila, but never returned. Thus, Eivor set out to Aquila to find Little Mother.[1]
Eivor investigated St. Taurinus Tavern and heard about Little Mother's current "prisoner" and about her house outside of Evreux. So, she went to the house, garnered the truth of Little Mother and learned that Little Mother was part of Bellatores Dei and she had the queen as her prisoner. Eivor traveled to Aquila and tried to find the sanctum and, after investigating the village, she found out that her base of operations was in the crypt. Finding her way inside, Eivor unlocked the entrance to the crypt and went into Aquila Sewers. From her sleuthing, she saw Little Mother's base of operations as deliverance paid a heavy toll in torture and pain.[2]
Death
From her probing, Eivor found herself opening a locked door to Little Mother's sanctum herself. She walked in to see Euphrasia condemning Richardis as she awaited her knife for the sacrifice. Looking around and devising a plan, Eivor acted and found an opportunity to strike. At her chance, she came and assassinated Euphrasia, before she could kill Queen Richardis. Afterwards, the Viking released Richardis, who paid last rites to Euphrasia. Both Eivor and the Queen left before the guards came.[2]
Behind the scenes
Euphrasia's manner of death may be vary, as Eivor has the option to either attack her head-on, use the situational opportunities to get close, or stealthily assassinate the bishop without raising any suspicion.
