Biography
Governor of Lunden
A Viking from Norway, Tryggr joined the Great Heathen Army during the Viking expansion into England, where he came to serve under Ubba Ragnarsson and Guthrum, becoming a close companion of the former. In 869, Tryggr was present when the Vikings occupied the city of Lunden nestled between the borders of Mercia and Wessex, which they used to launch incursions into Wessex. When both Ubba and Guthrum headed north and south to combat the kingdoms of Northumbria and Wessex respectively, Tryggr remained behind in Lunden, and became its governor some time in the early 870s.[1]
With the absence of the Viking army, Tryggr employed the use of reeves to keep the peace in the city. He first employed the Norse Erke Bodilsson, whose father Bodil Bodilsson previously served as the city's governor before his death. He then recruited Stowe, a Saxon who was raised in the Lundenwic Abbey. The two became Tryggr's right and left hand man, governing both the eastern and western sections of the city.
Death
In 873, Tryggr received a letter from an individual known by the pseudonym of A "Poor Fellow-Soldier of Christ", warning him of an ancient order who seek to infiltrate Lunden and eliminate his rule. As Tryggr confided in both reeves on this matter, he soon received another another letter from the individual who gave the names of three members of the order in the city: The Leech, The Arrow and The Compass. Before he could take actions, the said individuals attacked Tryggr in his home, slaughtering his men and beheading him at his seat.[2]
Shortly after, Tryggr's headless body was found by Erke and later on by Stowe, accompanied by Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan. Eivor aided the two reeves in unravelling the circumstances surrounding the governor's death, as well as dismantling the plot orchestrated by the ancient order. Tryggr was then later given a proper burial by Stowe.[2]
