==History==
The Wardens of Wealth was a branch of the Order of the Ancients during 9th century England. This branch was composed of members, who exploited their own political relationships, weapon-crafting artistry, monetary deposits, warfare knowledge, and religious ties to supply the Order with their needs of soldiers, money, weapons, recruits, and allies across England. By the 870s, the branch was led by Tatfrid.
During the reign of Alfred the Great, the Order expanded their influence within England, especially in regions of Mercia and East Anglia. Their influence had seem to reach certain parts of England, such as Oxenefordscire, Grantebridgescire, and Lincolnscire. Soon after, when Sigurd Styrbjornsson and Eivor Varinsdottir arrived and settled in England,Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – The Swan-Road Home Eivor was asked by Hytham and Basim Ibn Ishaq to look out for and assassinate members of the Order while securing alliances.
