Bujold the Intrepid, also known as Bujold the Unworthy,[1] was a Nord chieftain of Thirsk who lived in the third century of the Fourth Era.

She became Chieftain of Thirsk after slaying the great beast of Ilfark and presenting its stomach as a battle trophy, at some point before or during 4E 201.[2]

Circa 4E 201, under her leadership, the occupants of the Thirsk Mead Hall had succumbed to a preference for feasting and mead over martial pursuits, resulting in the decline of their physical prowess and unpreparedness. This was exploited by a clan of Rieklings, who invaded Thirsk and forcibly displaced the residents from their headquarters. Bujold, acknowledging her failure to maintain the martial prowess of her people, led her comrades in a retreat from their abode in the aftermath of the Rieklings' assault.[1][3][4]

Among the warriors of the hall there was her younger sister Hilund and her husband Kuvar. Bujold was a natural leader, but was quick to shame and hard on herself when things go wrong.[5] Warriors of the Thirsk Hall were waiting for her leadership and direction.[6] Although she has doubts about retaking the hall, and only acted when ready,[7] they had faith in her strength and ability to overcome adversity.[8] She was remembered as one of the better leaders, by some of the warriors active during, and before her rule.[9]

The future of the Mead Hall and its former leader, Bujold, remains uncertain. It is unclear whether the previous inhabitants successfully reclaimed the hall, and whether Bujold was reinstated without the approval of Hrothmund's spirit in Hrothmund's Barrow, or was driven away or met with a tragic end.[1][10] Additionally, it remains unknown whether the Rieklings maintained control of the Mead Hall, resulting in the demise of the former residents or not.[3]
