| Additional information | |
The Sons of the Sword was an early medieval group and an Order of the Ancients branch that operated throughout all the petty kingdoms of England.
The Sons of the Sword generally operated in the Saxon county of Sciropescire, controlling the life of every single individual who lived there on behalf of the Order of the Ancients. The Sons of the Sword were a small group of Norse or Viking men and women recruited into the ranks of the Order, and through violence they achieved their goals. Their leader was Thor the Elder who had direct ties to Grand Maegester Alfred the Great. Between 877 and 878, the Sons of the Sword were systematically exterminated by the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan.
