Valda the Iron Maiden

Valda the Iron Maiden is a fictional character created by Roy Thomas and Ernie Colón for DC Comics. She debuted in Arak, Son of Thunder #3 (August 1981).

Unlike other sword-and-sorcery heroines (such as Red Sonja), Valda is practically dressed in a full mail shirt, flat-heeled boots and (often) leather trousers.

Fictional character biography

Valda the Iron Maiden was a female knight and one of the Twelve Peers of Carolus Magnus' court. She was born in Aix-la-Chapelle, Frankland in the 8th century A.D., the daughter of Bradamante and (reputedly) Carolus Magnus.

After her mother's death in the ambush at Roncesvalles, Valda was brought up by Carolus Magnus, his court sorcerer Malagigi and Bishop Turpin. She was tutored as a swordswoman by the ghost of Amadis of Gaul, who she had summoned with a spell that she had overheard Malagigi using. Initially refused knighthood by the king, she posed as the "Knight All in Scarlet" and defeated her uncle, the great knight Rinaldo, in a joust to earn the honour.
