Grim was a male Dane, who lived and was in charge of Grimsby in the 9th century. The lord of Grimsby, Grim happened to be an acquaintance of Aelfgar.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Little is known about his past, though Grim was inferred to be a friend and fellow hunter to Aelfgar. Grim was also one of many Danes in Lincolnscire that lived in a village near the water called Grimsby.[1]
In 875, Grim, who was near the lake and a dead stag, was met by Aelfgar and the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir, to hunt of an elusive bear. Grim was introduced to Eivor, while both Eivor and Grim saw through Aelfgar's uneasy attempt of a fun, joint hunt. However, Grim and Eivor discussed the bear's possible hideout, which was on top of the nearby hill. The hunters agreed that this bear must be dealt by all three and they hurried into the cave hideout.[1]
Inside, all three hunters saw the remains of a half-eaten horse, but no bear. Immediately, the trio were attacked by a pack of wolves, which were defeated as swiftly as possible. Leaving the cave from its back entrance, Grim was the first to notice smoke coming from Aelfgar's estate. When Aelfgar realized that his estate was under attack, Grim and his fellow hunters hurried back to find Saxon soldiers burning down the homes. Together, the hunters defeated the soldiers and saved the town.[1]
At the Shiremoot, Grim was met by Eivor, who asked him about who should be the next ealdorman. Grim stated that he voted for the Bishop, because despite being Aelfgar's friend, he believed that Christians like Herefrith could be easily convinced to avoid a fight with a "Dane."[2]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
If Eivor chose Aelfgar or Hunwald as ealdorman, Grim fought alongside Eivor and the rest of the shire's nobles against Herefrith's forces in the town hall after the bishop revealed himself to be a member of the Order of the Ancients.
In the origin myth for Grimsby, the city was founded and lead by a fisherman named Grim. However, that Grim was said to be Odin in disguise.
