Saint Peter's Church

Saint Peter's Church

Saint Peter's Church was an Anglo-Saxon church in Wincestre, Hamtunscire.

History

In 877, a fake funeral was held for the Bishop Ealhferth in Saint Peter's Church's grounds by his sister, Harriet, as to hide Ealhferth's actual motives. Upon her arrival, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan investigated the funeral to verify the bishop's death. Determining the truth, Eivor confronted Harriet about the fake funeral, much to Harriet's shock. Harriet soon set soldiers on Eivor, who defeated them in combat, and was confronted again by the Viking. Harriet divulged that Ealhferth was going to confront King Aelfred and have him step down, but Eivor knew better as she saw Ealhferth was going to assassinate Aelfred. Eivor quickly left the sham funeral to save King Aelfred. Eivor also found and synchronized a viewpoint atop of the church's cross.

Behind the scenes

The St. Peter's Church in Winchester is a Roman Catholic church, rather than a Protestant one.
