Théodrate of Troyes (868 – 886) was the wife of Count Odo of Paris.
Biography
Not much is known about Théodrate's past, but from her title and role in Francia, she served as caretaker of her family and wife to Count Odo.
Siege of Paris
In 886, Théodrate sent a letter to Count Odo, at Pontem Esera, detailing his attendance at the Manoir des Fleurs Rouges, due to his responsibility to host and welcome his guests. The letter was found later by Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir, who was ordered by Elgring Clan's leader, Sigfred and his niece, Toka Sinricsdottir, to find Odo for an early truce. Leaving the fortress of Pontem Esera, Eivor headed to the northern part of Paris and arrived at the Manoir des Fleurs Rouges.[2]
At the manor, Eivor noticed Théodrate at the main entrance and talked with her. Théodrate admitted to be checking in guests and making sure that they have written confirmation. Eivor noted the necessary invitation and excused herself, in order to "find" one. Nevertheless, Eivor found her way inside to talk with Count Odo.[2]
During the siege itself, Théodrate suffered a grave wound, which was sustained from an arrow to the belly. Théodrate was shot during her aid for fallen Frankish soldiers and was left in the Palais de la Cité's master bedroom to rest her injuries. The family priest, Walter Du Sens, was meant to give her last rites, but instead Walter was too drunk to so. Looking to end the siege from becoming more bloody, Eivor entered the palace and found the priest.[1]
With some conversation and wine, Walter unwittingly gave Eivor access to the master bedroom, to Théodrate. From Eivor's entrance, Théodrate imagined that Eivor was the priest, conducting rites for her. Through their conversation, Eivor asked for assistance to find Théodrate's husband. In her last breath, Théodrate gave Eivor the keys to war room where Odo was at before passing away.[1]
After a truce was made between King Charles the Fat and Jarl Sigfred, Count Odo stepped into the agreement afterwards and detailed how his fellow brothers in arms, Gozlin and Ebels, and his wife, Théodrate, died in the name of Francia, while Charles gave in to the Vikings' onslaught. Odo soon denounced his support for the king and left in anger.[1]
Behind the scenes
Théodrate is a historical character who appeared in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's The Siege of Paris DLC.
Historically, unlike what the DLC depicted, Théodrate survived the siege and eventually went on to become Queen consort of France following her husband's election as King following the deposition of King Charles III in 888. She died in 903 around the age of 34 or 35.
