Valdis was a Viking leader based in the Kingdom of East Anglia in the 9th century.
Biography
Having emigrated to the British Isles along with other Vikings, Valdis at some point entered a relationship with Oswald, the heir to the throne of East Anglia.[1] However, Oswald was believed to have been slain by Rued, a Viking opposed to Oswald's rule.[2] Following this, Valdis joined and helped recruit villagers in Elmenham to a raiding party led by Eivor against Rued's base of Burgh Castle to avenge Oswald. Within the fortress, they discovered that Oswald instead was imprisoned instead of slain, and managed to free the man.[1]
After recovering from the raid on Burgh Castle, Valdis and Oswald were wed in Elmenham. During the reception, the newlyweds swore loyalty to Eivor and their Raven Clan.[3]
Behind the scenes
Valdis, a character appearing in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, has an Icelandic name derived from the combination of the Old Norse words valr, meaning 'the dead', and dís, meaning 'goddess'.
Valdis in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla has the rune tiwaz tattooed on her chin during the raid on the Burgh Castle.[1]
