Rued (fl. 9th century) was a Viking leader who based himself at Burgh Castle in East Anglia during the 9th century.
At some point in the late 9th century, Rued attacked Oswald, heir to the East Anglian throne after Edmund the Martyr's death.[1] Believing Oswald dead, the Viking Eivor rallied a force of Anglo-Saxons and Danes to avenge the king's presumed murder.[2] The army assaulted the castle, only to find Oswald alive but imprisoned in the fort for Rued's own reasons. In the battle, Rued and his pet wolf were defeated by Eivor in personal combat, allowing their allies to free Oswald.[3]
Etymology
Rued is a name derived from the Old Norse word hróðr, meaning 'fame, famed'.[4]
