Kalf was a Viking warrior and part of the Great Heathen Army.
Biography
Around the time of the Oskoreia festival at Ravensthorpe, Kalf was stationed as a lookout for his clan. Noticing the arrival of Anglo-Saxon mercenaries, Kalf made the decision to sound the alarm by firing a flaming arrow onto Ubba Ragnarsson's ship, because he was so high up that he would not be heard. He then joined the fight, where he was injured.[1]
Ubba was enraged by the loss of his ship, blaming Kalf for the attack, and broke the warrior's armring, exiling him from the clan and leaving him behind as the Great Army moved on. With his last remaining strength, he made his way to Ravensthorpe, used some charcoal to write his name on the Ship of the Dead and left to die by himself.[1]
Legacy
Upon noticing Kalf's name on the ship's hull with no message attached, Eivor Varinsdottir investigated who wrote it, discovering his fate. She then returned to the ship and carved in his name along with a message, honoring him.[1]
