As the wife of Odo, who reigned as Count of Paris, Théodrate lived with husband in the Palais de la Cité. 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.

Théodrate was checking in guests and making sure that they have written confirmation. Eivor noted the necessary invitation and excused herself, in order to "find" one.[1]
Siege of Paris and death
During the Siege of Paris by Vikings led by Sigfred, Théodrate suffered a grave arrow wound to her belly while aiding the fallen Frankish soldiers. As such, she was left to rest in the palace's master bedroom while her husband continued his duties in the war room. Théodrate was meant to given her last rites by their family priest, Walter du Sens, but he was too drunk to do so. In bed, Théodrate saw Eivor enter her room and imagined that Eivor was the priest, conducting rites for her. From their conversation, Théodrate gave Eivor the keys to war room, where Odo was, before passing away.[2]
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.
