Leofgifu (died 873), also known as the Scabbard, was an Order of the Ancients Palatinus who served in the Wardens of War sect in Anglo-Saxon England during the 9th century.
Biography
Leofgifu grew up an orphan after losing her parents to a plague in Grantebridge. In order to survive, she became a bandit and eventually sought work as a mercenary, becoming an adept fighter. The Order of the Ancients took notice of Leofgifu's activities and thus recruited her. Making use of her position as a valued mercenary, Leofgifu began amassing an arsenal of weapons for the Order and quickly insulated herself into a position of command by distributing luxury goods to fellow officers, such that they would turn a blind eye to her illegal acts. By the 870s, she was based in a Saxon military camp at Utbech near the city and had two bodyguards following her.[1]
Eventually, the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir, an ally of the Hidden Ones, tracked down Leofgifu to the camp and assassinated her, thereby putting a stop to her procurement of weapons.[2]
Trivia
- The name is an Old English name meaning "dear gift", combining the elements leof "dear, agreeable, beloved" and giefu "gift".
