Bishop's Residence
The Bishop's Residence was an Anglo-Saxon conference building for the clergymen in Wincestre, Hamtunscire.
History
In 877, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan was given a key by Ealhferth's sister, Harriet, to a secret room below the Bishop's Residence. Eivor travelled to the residence and investigated the area, only to find the door Harriet mentioned. The door led Eivor to find another Temple of Mithras and more clues about the Order of the Ancients' influence over England.[1] In 878, a priest named Ealric was given a task by King Alfred the Great to convince Bishop Denewulf to aid him in his cause. Ealric succeeded in convincing the bishop to lend support for Alfred's cause.[2]
Through her travels, Eivor ventured into the residence and broke through a barred door upstairs. Inside, Eivor found a chest, looted it, and acquired the Thegn's Cloak.[3]
