Ulfberht blades are medieval European swords, dated to the 9th to 11th centuries, inlaid with the inscription +VLFBERHT+. Ulfberht was a Frankish personal name that became a trademark used by various blacksmiths.
History
In the mid 800s one of these blades was in the possession Lerion, an East Anglian ealdorman. After his execution the sword wound up in the hands of bandits at the Forest Hideout where it was acquired by the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor.
Another one of the blades was kept in Buckingham Palace in Westminster during the 19th century. It was stolen by the Frye twins in 1868 who used it to craft one of their items.
