𝐀 child born out of wedlock was seen as a disgrace to society, an embarrassment to a man or ladies name, and arya was no exception. Born from a one night stand between a young Uhtred Ragnarsson and a Danish maiden they called Lagertha, arya grew up with the term "bastard" hanging over her head. From her birth till she turned ten and two Arya was raised by her mother as she grew up in a small village just outside of East Anglia. That was until a force of Saxon men stormed down the village slaughtering every men, woman and child they could find. This included Aryas mother's family.
