In 875, the [[Vikings|Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] of the [[Raven Clan]] went to meet Aelfgar at his estate, [[Aelfgarstun]]. After giving the late [[Ealdorman]] [[Hundbeorht]]'s bow to Eivor, Aelfgar admitted to having her join him on a hunt of an elusive [[bear]]. Riding to a nearby lake, Eivor and Aelfgar meet Grim, who was near the lake and a dead [[deer|stag]]. Aelfgar introduced Eivor to Grim, whereas both Eivor and Grim saw through Aelfgar's uneasy attempt of a fun, joint hunt. However, Grim and Eivor discussed the bear's possible hideout, which was on top of the nearby hill. The hunters agreed that this bear must be dealt by all three and they hurried into the hideout, which was a cave. Inside the cave, all three hunters saw remains of a half-eaten [[horse]], but no bear. Immediately, the trio were attacked by a pack of [[wolf|wolves]], which were defeated as swiftly as possible. Leaving the cave from its back entrance, Grim was the first to notice smoke coming from Aelfgar's estate. Realizing that his estate was under attack, the hunters hurried back to find [[Anglo-Saxons|Saxon]] [[soldier]]s burning down the homes. After defeating the invaders, Eivor and Aelfgar chatted about the future rebuilding, until Aelfgar laughed upon the sight of the bear coming out at last at his burned down estate. Thus, the hunters killed the bear before it could cause more harm to Aelfgar's estate and its people.<ref name="TOL" />

Biography[edit | edit source]

Little is known about his past, though Grim was inferred to be a friend and fellow hunter to Aelfgar. Grim was also one of many Danes in Lincolnscire that lived in a village near the water called Grimsby.[1]

In 875, Grim, who was near the lake and a dead stag, was met by Aelfgar and the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir, to hunt of an elusive bear. Grim was introduced to Eivor, while both Eivor and Grim saw through Aelfgar's uneasy attempt of a fun, joint hunt. However, Grim and Eivor discussed the bear's possible hideout, which was on top of the nearby hill. The hunters agreed that this bear must be dealt by all three and they hurried into the cave hideout.[1]

Inside, all three hunters saw the remains of a half-eaten horse, but no bear. Immediately, the trio were attacked by a pack of wolves, which were defeated as swiftly as possible. Leaving the cave from its back entrance, Grim was the first to notice smoke coming from Aelfgar's estate. When Aelfgar realized that his estate was under attack, Grim and his fellow hunters hurried back to find Saxon soldiers burning down the homes. Together, the hunters defeated the soldiers and saved the town.[1]

At the Shiremoot, Grim was met by Eivor, who asked him about who should be the next ealdorman. Grim stated that he voted for the Bishop, because despite being Aelfgar's friend, he believed that Christians like Herefrith could be easily convinced to avoid a fight with a "Dane."[2]
