Grim was a male Dane, who lived and was charge in Grimsby during the 9th century. One of the inhabitants of Grimsby, Grim happened to be a friend of one of Lincoln's thegns, Aelfgar, as well as one of the lords of Lincolnscire.
Biography
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, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan went to meet Aelfgar at his estate, Aelfgarstun. After giving the late Ealdorman Hundbeorht's personal 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 stag. Aelfgar introduced Eivor to Grim, though 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.[1]
Inside, all three hunters saw 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. Realizing that his estate was under attack, the hunters hurried back to find Saxon soldiers 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.[1]
Going back to Lincoln for the Shiremoot, Eivor met with Abbess Acha and they both went to the town hall to join the moot. However, it came down to a three-way tie between Aelfgar, Hunwald, and Bishop Herefrith as Eivor became the immediate tie-breaker. Before deciding the vote, Eivor talked with people to influence her decision and she found Grim at a table. Speaking with Grim, Eivor 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]
