Askild's move to overthrow Xenophanes was gaining a foundation and he had recruited one of the most ruthless killers but his plans would have to wait as they were sent to curb an attempted incursion by a neighboring kingdom. There, Askild almost lost his life but was saved by Ragnar. This was the battle that made Ragnar and the commanders of the present stand out as they had defining contributions to the success. Lagertha was a well-known maiden but a maiden that was far less famous was a lady known as Ulfhild, who was the wife of Asger.
She was a lady with unparalleled beauty, making Lagertha look ordinary beside her.
Asger was smitten with her and made her his wife at a young age, every man wanted her but no man could have her except Asger.
Birger was interested in her like every man with blood in his body but he did not make a move on her because she was married.
