Rikiwulf (died 872) was a Viking from the Wolf Clan, serving under Kjotve the Cruel during the 9th century.
Biography
In 872, Rikiwulf was present during the capture of Eivor Varinsdottir and her crew from the rival Raven Clan. Rikiwulf was given instructions by Kjotve to send Eivor on a slave-ship to Ireland and while her crewmates were to be sacrificed for a blood ritual at Avaldsnes. At Heillboer where Kjotve prepared to send Eivor off to Ireland, Rikiwulf was given ownership of the axe Eivor held which originally belonged to her father Varin. Rikiwulf later returned to Avaldsnes after Eivor was seemingly sent off to slavery. Unbeknowst to him however, Eivor managed to free herself and escape.[1]
In the midst of interrogating Bragi, Rikiwulf was confronted by Eivor who challenged him in combat. Rikiwulf was ultimately defeated and killed by Eivor, who then regained her father's axe that he had taken.[1]
