Krok Uxiblóð was a Viking and one of Halfdan Ragnarsson's commanders.
Biography
While in Lunden, Krok and his band ambushed Geirmund Hel-hide, hoping that by slaying the man who had murdered Ubba Ragnarsson's kinsman Fasti, he would be made into a jarl. Geirmund and Aslef managed to escape Krok, though not without injuries.[1] Krok planned another ambush on a small village on the road away from Lunden, but he was outsmarted by Geirmund.[2]
Some time after, Krok captured Tova and sought to use her as a bargaining chip for the silver at Medeshamstede. On the day the exchange was to take place, four members of his war-band escorted her to the abbey, but they were killed, and she was saved by the Hel-hides,[3] who then left to draw Krok's attention away from the monastery.[4] Krok and his war-band caught up with the Hel-hides at Ravensthorpe, where jarl Eivor Varinsdottir stopped their argument so Krok and Geirmund would have a holmgang according to law. Krok and Geirmund chose to fight to the death using sword and shield, and after a short battle, Krok was killed.[4]
