Werefirth the Walloper
Werefirth the Walloper was an Anglo-Saxon fighter who lived in southern Grantebridgescire with his grandchildren in the late 9th century.
Biography[edit | edit source]
By the 870s, Werefirth was known to the locals as "The Walloper," due to his one-hit knockout punch. However, he soon grew tired and confined of his notoriety and wished for a simpler life, contrast to his grandchildren's adoration of his strength. At his old age, he bequeathed his belongings and land to his grandchildren before he died. At some point, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir visited his home and overheard the kids praising their grandfather. Wanting to challenging him, Eivor proposed a fight to which Werefirth reluctantly accepted. Much to his shock, Eivor defeated him in a fistfight. Elated, he gifted her treasures he won in his past duels and thanked her for releasing him from his legacy.[1]
