Soma (died 878) was a Viking jarlskona whose clan was based in Cambridgeshire, England during the 9th century. Her clan pledged their assistance to Eivor after they helped to reclaim the region from the Order of the Ancients.
Biography
A Sámi from northern Scandinavia, Soma grew up an orphan and later joined the army of the Viking leader Guthrum. During the Viking invasion of England, Soma joined Guthrum and the Ragnarssons' Great Heathen Army, during which he grew close to Guthrum and Ubba Ragnarsson. Eventually, Soma rose up the ranks and became jarlskona under Guthrum, co-leading the Summer Army in Grantebridgescire.[1] Following the capture of Grantebridge from Mercia, Soma volunteered to defend the city, allowing Guthrum to continue southwards to invade Wessex. In time, Soma turned Grantebridge into a prosperous city and gained three close advisors in Birna, Galinn and Lif.[2]
