Ebba the politician
It was the practice of the King and his court to move about his kingdom and visit important people and places. Thus the King could live off his subjects. On one such tour he reached his Aunt Ebba. By this time the new Queen, Iurminburg, and the new Archbishop of Canterbury had opened the eyes of the King to the excesses of Wilfrid. Wilfrid was in disgrace and at the time of this visit was in prison at Dunbar where the headman was a particularly nasty person. However Ebba was one of those whom Wilfrid had won over, at least to a certain extent. Ebba persuaded the King to have Wilfrid released from Dunbar although he had to leave Northumbria.
