Thor the Fish Monger (died c. 874) was a Danish Viking drengr turned spear-fisherman who served in the Great Heathen Army under Ragnar Lodbrok during his legendary raids. Following Lodbrok's death, Thor settled down in East Anglia and married a Saxon woman named Æthelswig, with whom he had a son that he hoped would some day become a great Viking raider.[1] Seeking a true drengr's death in order that he would reach Valhalla,[2] Thor fought the shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan in ritual combat and was killed.[1]
