Walter du Sens was a Frankish Archbishop of West Francia who also served as Count Odo's family priest.[1]
Biography[]
Not much is known about Walter du Sens, except that he happened to be part of the Frankish priesthood and was also on call to Count Odo and his family.[1]
The Siege of Paris[]
Walter du Sens' name and his welfare were mentioned and stated from a note by Count Odo. The note was found within the Manoir des Fleurs Rouges and it implied that Walter felt trapped and downtrodden on the impeding siege.[1]
During the siege, Walter du Sens was seen becoming drunk and even more hopeless, despite his necessary attendance to Lady Théodrate of Troyes, who was dying. Walter du Sens was found on the floor drinking and outstating his woes about his failure as a priest and the impeding doom. Walter was soon interrogated by the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir about the current location of Count Odo. However, Walter admitted his memory was hazy and he needed more wine. After a brief moment, Walter received more wine and stated he did not know where Count Odo but his wife might know. Walter unknowingly gave Eivor the key to Théodrate's bedroom, which was locked.[2]
Walter soon sobered up and remembered where to meet Count Odo. In Odo's sanctum, Walter pleaded with Odo to call for surrender and make the bloodshed end. Walter admitted that Odo's wife is dying and he should spend time with her. However, Odo declared his duty to his people and country and his belief in Charles' rescue. Once Eivor came in and interrupted the conversation, Walter became startled as Odo stared at her. Walter was asked to leave and comfort Théodrate as best as he can, thus Walter left Odo with Eivor.[2]
After the siege and the truce, Walter was present among the townsfolk at the Villa of Amiens' grounds, where Queen Richardis faced her trial by fire. Walter was in the front space as he drank his wine and watched the queen face her certain doom. Soon, all noticed that the sky was rumbling as King Charles proclaimed that God was in attendance. However, during the interference of Eivor and her fight with Gozlin, rain commenced and put out the trial of fire. Once Queen Richardis was freed and remained unburnt, Walter was in shock and left speechless. Walter dropped his goblet and fell to his knees immediately. Walter prayed to the blessed queen, which led to rest of the townsfolk following his lead.[3]
