Editing Fasti

{{Era|Individuals}}
'''Fasti''' (died c. 870) was a [[Vikings|Viking]] warrior who went to [[England]] during the [[Viking expansion]], in the late 9th century. He was kinsman to [[Ubba Ragnarsson]].

==Biography==
One day, Fasti came upon [[Geirmund Hel-hide]] while collecting oysters for food. Geirmund introduced himself, and asked whether there was room at the fire for him, as he was alone and hungry. Fasti gave Geirmund the basket of oysters for him to carry, leading him to their camp at [[Ancarig]], where the Danes had stationed themselves, wanting to see if the {{Wiki|anchorite}} [[Torthred]] could die twice, believing he was a living-dead creature.<ref name = "Chapter 09">''[[Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Geirmund's Saga]]'' – Chapter 9</ref>

They ate, and, a short time later, Fasti surprised Geirmund as he stole one of their [[boat]]s. Fasti drew breath to shout an alarm, but Geirmund plunged his [[Short blade|knife]] in Fasti's throat before he could, killing him.<ref name = "Chapter 09"/>

==Legacy==
Unbeknownst to Geirmund, Fasti was kin to Ubba Ragnarson, who upon learning of Fasti's murder demanded either ''{{Wiki|weregild}}'' or Geirmund's death in compensation. When [[Guthrum]] decided to banish Geirmund after he joined his troops in the [[Great Heathen Army]] rather than suffer the loss of a good soldier, Ubba hired [[Krok]] to hunt the [[Hel-hides]] and their leader.{{Cite|24 Feb 2022.
