Crawley is a town and borough in West Sussex England, directly south of London.
History
Anglo-Saxon times
During the 9th century, the town was only a small village known as Crawleah. In 873, the Viking Eivor hunted down one of Fulke's scouts on the suggestion of the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq by the river north of Crawleah.[1] After an ambush from Saxon soldiers, Eivor and her ally Soma destroyed Fulke's supplies stored in the village.[2]
Victorian era
The British Assassins Ethan and Cecily Frye resided in the town and conducted their Assassin activities there due to the Brotherhood's inability to establish a stable base in London, which had been under the control of the Templars since the death of Miko in 1754.[3] Ethan would later save George Westhouse from robbers in Crawley's riverbank and would induct him in the Brotherhood.
Much later in 1847, Ethan and Cecily's children, Jacob and Evie Frye, who would later also became Assassins, were born and raised in the town. As Evie trained with their father, Jacob would explore Crawley's gambling dens and factories. After Ethan's death in 1868, George Westhouse served as their guardian and coordinated assassinations in the nearby town of Croydon.[4]
