THE WARRIORS

__________________________________________________________________________________________

 SERT, Warrior.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

 TRYGVE, Warrior, Archer.

I know not of where, nor whom I came from, for the Gods chose to take my memories, as a child I was found by Ragnar Skallagrim, who took me into his home and raised me as one of his kinn. I have studied and worked hard over the years to become a warrior of this mighty war band.

 SVEIN ERICSSON, Warrior.

You Anglo Saxons know me as a North man and I take great pleasure in raiding your shores whether my victim be English or Dane, as my father did, his father before him and his father before him

Ijnarr, Warrior.

'At dead of night, beneath the sky, Upon the banks of ouse, I saw the spirit stalking by, In giant stature o'er the earth, The goddess of the sword and spear stood, in dream upon this ground, And whilst the valley shock with fear, She tower'd above the mountains round'.

HOSVI, Archer and Warrior

I am a shield maker, Bone and Antler worker, son of Vilmund the Carpenter and husband to Frigg and father to Frekki and Unn.

 FRIGG, Warrior, Archer.

I am named after Odin's wife and the goddess of Earth, Air and Fertility. I share many attributes to my namesake, but the main ones being a wife and mother, I will fight along side my husband when necessary and do what it takes to protect my children. my father had no sons so his sword was passed down to me.

SVEIN the SKALD.

'The nithing shall silence me never. Though now for their shame they attack me. But the wit of the skald is my weapon. And the wine of the gods will uphold me. And this they shall feel in it's fullness. Here my fame has it's birth and begining. And the stout spears of battle shall see it. If I 'scape from their hands with my life'.

 SYGTRYGG ATHLUNKARD, WARRIOR

The youngest son of a seafarer/trader and warrior turned shipwright Jokulf Athlunkard. My father retired from sea trading and put his knowledge to work at the shipyard on the west island called Hibernia. It was there I was born to Jodis, my mother, who's ancestor were from the hot lands some now call Spain

    ISBJORN,  Warrior

Now see to thy safety henceforward. And stick to thy horse and thy buckler. Or this mallet of mine, I can tell thee. Will meet with thine ear for a surety. Now say no more stories of feasting. Though seven in a day thou couldst tell of. Or bumps thou shalt comb on thy brain pan. Thou that breakest the howes of the dead.

Tovi the Tall, Warrior.

Around AD817, cast out of my family at the age of eighteen for a disgrace which was not my own doing. I found myself alone,no land, no lord, no name! I had to right this injustice. From the furthest reaches of Scandinavia I crossed the sea with the first raiding party that needed an extra oarsman.
 Now I shall take land from the weak and call it my own; I'll serve no Lord unless it will further my own ambition; I'll become so renowned that songs of my conquest's will be sung. All shall know my name.

   Annund Ofegson, Warrior

I am sometimes called Annund 'the Bear' by those who know me. I am the third of four sons and will therefore never inherit the land and property of my father Ofeg Magnusson.                                                                                          As a young man I joined those who went 'A Viking' to make my money and fame. After some years and some good successes I found a new life in the lands of the Danelaw.                                                                                                              I have a wife, Freyja who looks after my homestead and runs my farm that is worked by our slaves. My son Ofeg, who I named for my father, runs the rast of my lands and tennants whilst I am away trading goods.  When callad to arms by our Jarl we both answer and neither of us will refuse the opportunity to raid when there is more profit to be had than by trade
