9th century Brentwood Outpost

The Brentwood Outpost was an Anglo-Saxon stronghold, a military outpost, and a prison in 9th century Essexe, England.

History

In 875, Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir travelled to the prison to rescue the ealdorman Birstan's former love, Alfida, from her unjust imprisonment. After hearing Alfida's yells for help, Eivor saw that the house encasing Alfida needed a key. Eivor found the key within the outpost and released Alfida. Eivor escaped the outpost and carried an injured Alfida to the Lake House, per the ealdorman's request.[1]

Behind the Scenes

According to the namesake, "Brentwood" is a compound word, as some maps transcribed the name as "Burntwood". Also, despite the Roman road between Lunden and Colcestre passing through the area, the Anglo-Saxons were seen as the area's earliest settlers.
