Fasti (died c. 870) was a 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 anchorite Torthred could die twice, believing he was a living-dead creature.[1]
They ate, and, a short time later, Fasti surprised Geirmund as he stole one of their boats. Fasti drew breath to shout an alarm, but Geirmund plunged his knife in Fasti's throat before he could, killing him.[1]
Legacy
Fasti was kin to Ubba Ragnarson, who upon learning of Fasti's murder demanded either weregild or Geirmund's death in compensation.[2] Halfdan's commander Krok decided to hunt the Hel-hides and their leader, believing it would be enough to have Halfdan make him a jarl.[3]
