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
Unbeknownst to Geirmund, Fasti was kin to Ubba Ragnarson, who upon learning of Fasti's murder demanded either 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.
