Biography
Born some time in the late 9th century, Ceolbert was destined to be the ealdorman of Mercia, succeeding his father.[1] Ceolbert joined Ivarr and Eivor Varinsdottir in Ledecestreshire and Sciropescire as they worked to depose King Burgred, who had constantly provoked the Viking army which surrounded his forces. After a peace had been signed between the Vikings and the forces of Welsh king Rhodri the Great, Ceolbert was suddenly found dead in a cave, stabbed through the heart by a dagger with a Saxon inscription, which implied that Rhodri was personally responsible.[2] His death was exploited to inspire a siege of Rhodri's castle, though Eivor shortly later learned that Ceolbert had been murdered by his former father-figure and erstwhile mentor, Ivarr.[3] After finding out Ivarr was the murderer, Eivor fought and killed Ivarr, and then decided his fate to Valhalla.
