Jora Blood-Shoulder (born 852) was a Norse Viking who lived during the 9th century and was a member of the Raven Clan.[1]
Biography[]
Jora was born in 852 to parents who were part of the Raven Clan, and from the minute she was old enough to hold a weapon, she showed great talent for combat. She longed to prove herself and thus greatly revered her parents and other raiders who regularly sailed out.[1]
When Jora participated in her first raid once she was of age, she quickly earned the epithet "Blood-Shoulder" for her many victories in battle, and thereafter developed a reputation that was feared by rival clans throughout Norway. Seeing that their enemies grew terrified at the mere mention of Jora's name, the Raven Clan entrusted her with command to lead future raids and train young warriors.[1]
In 872, after her fellow clanmate, Eivor Varinsdottir, led a successful raid on a Rygjafylke meadhall occupied by the Kjotve the Cruel's Wolf Clan. Jora entered the hall informing Eivor that a secret path out of the hall was revealed. Surmising the Kjotve had fled with sacred scrolls, Jora watched as Eivor and her Vikings gave chase.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
