Ladgerda (pronounced lad-GER-da), often known as Ladgerda the Swan, is a jarl of Rothurland. Along with Aslaug the Star-Eyed and Ivar the Glass-Armed, Ladgerda is one of three current jarls who are children of Ragnarr the Mad Boar. After her father was killed by Jarl Einar the Venomous, Ladgerda led the siblings' efforts to find the jarl. She took a jarldom for herself after slaying Einar in Y9964*.
Ladgerda is a renowned huntress and warrior. She associates with the Lodge of the Lionhearted, though she rarely ventures outside Rothurland in search of dangerous creatures, preferring to secure her own jarldom instead.
As jarl, Ladgerda controls the northern fjords and mountains, including the settlements of Shivering Fjord, Veden, and Norheim. She respects the borders of the jarldoms her siblings control, even if she publicly considers Aslaug and Ivar weaker and less well-suited to the roles they possess.
