Burial Mounds
The Burial Mounds were a burial site for the Elgring Clan, outside of 9th century Melun, Melunois.
History
In the late 9th century, the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan visited the burial mounds and met with Viking Jarl Sigfred, after Toka and Eivor arrived in Melun. At the burial mounds, Sigfred paid his respect to his late brother and father of Toka's, Sinric. Sigfred met with Eivor and discussed the Frankish problem. Angered, Sigfred let out his rage against the Franks for their disrespect and cowardice against Sinric. Nevertheless, Eivor agreed to help Sigfred and his warriors against the Franks and soon, they left to further discuss their plans.[1]
After the siege finished with a truce between Sigfred and King Charles the Fat, the Vikings went back to Melun to celebrate. However, Sigfred was not pleased and wanted more Frankish deaths. Sigfred lashed out Eivor, who stated that more Frankish bloodshed will jeopardize the truce, and then left angrily. Chasing down Sigfred, Eivor found the jarl at the mounds once more. At Sinric's grave, Sigfred kept questioning the Viking way and wanted to end the truce as Eivor retorted again. Sigfred responded with challenging Eivor to a holmgang. From their conversations, Sigfred found himself at the end of this life he knew and relinquished his title. Afterwards, Toka came and saw that the leadership was now in her hands.[2]
