==Aftermath==
Within days after Ubba's demise, a treaty was made between the Great Heathen Army's leader Guthrum and King Alfred the Great at Werham. When the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir arrived, negotiations soured as Alfred detailed that Ubba had been killed earlier along the Afon River. As a result, Guthrum and his allies reneged on the truce, burned down Werham, and fled Alfred's reinforcements to evade capture. To verify, Eivor traveled to the location and found Ubba and his men dead. The downfall of Ubba echoed across the shire as Geirmund Hel-hide and his Hel-hides found a trail of dead Vikings coinciding with the confirmation of Ubba's death.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga — Chapter 28
