Eofor was badly injured by the surprise attack, but thanks to a just-in-time miraculous healing spell cast by Watkyn, managed to remain standing as Bleys and Scheattle joined the fray.

 York - susning.nu
This name was meaningless to the invading Saxons, who Anglicized it as Eofor ("boar", which had a similar sound) and appended wi-c ("dwelling place"), to give it the name of Eoforwi-c.
When the Vikings invaded, they misconstrued wic as vi-k (which meant "bay" and was inappropriate to the inland city but stuck anyway); since Eofor was meaningless to them, there was no pressure to keep the first syllables recognizable, and the name was gradually shortened to Jarvik.
This in turn was later shortened to York, the name as it stands today and as it may stand until the city is invaded again.
