Gifle (died 876) was a Palatinus and Warden of Wealth in the Order of the Ancients in East Anglia, England during the late 9th century AD.
Biography[]
Gifle made an odd fit in the Order of the Ancients. He never cared much for hierarchy and rules; however, he found that by doing the Order's work, he earned himself enormous freedom - freedom to indulge in mead and debauchery, but freedom nonetheless. Thanks to his fearless combat and shrewd judgment, he attained the rank of Palatinus, whereupon he began to forge links with various groups of bandits and bend them to the Order's will.
In 876, Eivor tracked Gifle down to the highest point in the Thetford Forest of East Anglia after capturing a letter from some of his brigands at another forest camp. Eivor infiltrated his camp and mortally wounded him with his bare hands; Gifle lamented how he the Order had allowed him to afford a life of drinking, but the price was murder.
