Swanburrow was a female Dane, who initially lived in Grimsby in the 9th century. One of the inhabitants of Grimsby, Swanburrow happened to be the love of one of Lincoln's lord, Hunwald.

Biography

Little is known about her past, though Swanburrow appeared to be Hunwald's "Dane ladylove". Swanburrow was also one of many Danes in Lincolnscire that lived in a village called Grimsby. There are brief mentions of Hunwald mentioning his ladylove, as he kept professing his love towards anyone who either insulted him for it or was in disbelief of it.

In 875, Swanburrow, praying to Odin, was visited by Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan and her love Hunwald, who realized that Swanburrow may also be in danger from the Order of the Ancients. As Eivor left them in Grimsby, Swanburrow and Hunwald agreed to wait at her home until the moot, while Swanburrow declared to kill any possible invaders. Meanwhile, Swanburrow kept a letter from Hunwald, who described the events of his exile and his hope with finding help from a "newly settled camp." After the shiremoot and Bishop Herefrith's assassination by Eivor's hands, during the siege on Anecastre, the new ealdorman was ready to lead his shire without any more interference from the Order. In effect, Swanburrow became a part of the Raven Clan, initially as a means of protection.

In 878, after the battle of Cippanhamm, Swanburrow was delivered the unfortunate news about Hunwald. Crying, Swanburrow was comforted by Eivor, who consoled her and let her know that the clan was here for her. After reporting to Randvi, Swanburrow was still seen around Ravensthorpe. After Hunwald's death, a burial for Hunwald was made, besides Dag Nithisson and Svend, as Swanburrow left a note of her undying love for him.

Behind the Scenes

Swanburrow is a character appearing in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, where she is portrayed by Salóme Gunnarsdóttir, who also provides the voice for Eydis.

In the memory "A Sword-Shower in Anecastre" if the player chooses Aelfgar or Herefrith as ealdorman, Hunwald asked for both him and Swanburrow to live in Ravensthorpe (after the events of the memory play out). The two then have their own house in the settlement. However, if Hunwald is ealdorman, Swanburrow will live in the house alone.
