Portcestre
Portcestre was a medieval fortress in Sussex, England, located by the Embert River. During the Anglo-Saxon period, it served as one of the strongholds of the Kingdom of Wessex.
History[edit | edit source]
Circa 875, Portcestre served as the main base of operations of the Order of the Ancients Maegester Fulke, where she held Sigurd Styrbjornsson hostage while torturing him to bring out his "true form".[1] Sigurd's adopted sister Eivor Varinsdottir and the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq were able to track Fulke to the fort upon finding a clue in her study at Saint Hadrian's Priory.[2]
After rounding up her allies and friends, Eivor led a siege of the fortress, managing to rescue Sigurd within a church building. Eivor then pursued Fulke through the fortress tunnels, eventually confronting and killing her.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Portcestre is a location in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. In place of the actual city, the castle is depicted in the game instead.
