In 866, following the Vikings attack on York, Ivarr the Boneless gifted one of these swords to Ulf Stensson.[3]
Centuries later during the Victorian era, another one of the blades was kept in Buckingham Palace in Westminster. In 1868, it was stolen by Jacob and Evie Frye, twin members of the British Brotherhood of Assassins, who used it to craft one of their items.[4] [citation needed]
