Finnr was a Viking warrior and a friend of Eivor.

Biography

During the 9th century, Finnr assisted Eivor in raising a joint force of Anglo-Saxons and Danes to assault Burgh Castle and avenge the presumed murder of client-king Oswald of East Anglia.[1] Upon breaching the castle's walls, they discovered Oswald to be alive and captured by the chieftain Rued. After Eivor defeated Rued in personal combat, Finnr, Eivor, and Valdis freed Oswald. Valdis and Oswald reaffirmed their love for each other, while Finnr went off to nap.[2] Afterwards, Finnr met Eivor at Elmenham for the wedding of Valdis and Oswald.[3]

Behind the scenes

The name Finnr is Old Norse in origin, meaning 'wanderer'.[4] It is also a personal name and byname meaning either 'Lapp' (of the Sámi people) or 'Finn' (of the Finnish people).[5]
