Description

Gisela is a danish princess, sister of the slave king Guthred. She appears in the third and forth book of the Saxon Stories series, "Lords of the North" and "The Sword Song".

Uthred fall in love with her during he was at the service of Guthred, but how she is a princess, and her marriage has to be in accordance with the covenants of her brother, she is betrothed to Uthred's uncle, the usuper of his title and his castle. After two years of slave, Uthred come back to require Gisela as his bride only to know she is already marriage with his uncle. But as the marriage wasn't consumated, he faces of the church and the priests and take Gisela to himself.

The couple is very happy, and had 3 kids. But Gisela dies on the birth of the 4th child, and the baby dies too, leaving Uthred devasted.

As a danish girl, she wears like a viking woman, so I research a lot about the viking's costumes to can do her clothes. Despite she is a danish, she is described with a long black hair, and her brother like to say that she has a horse face, but Uthred thinks she is gorgeous!

c. 878
