Almund

Brother Almund was a 9th century Anglo-Saxon monk and baker at Medeshamstede Abbey, England.

Biography

Almund joined the priesthood as a monk and worked as a baker under Abbot Torthred at the newly established monastery at Medeshamstede. One day, he and his fellow monks came across a wounded Viking, Geirmund Hel-hide. Torthred recognized him and welcomed him and Geirmund's company, the Hel-hides, under the condition that they would provide them security. Almund and the other monks continued their routines under the Hel-hides' protection. However, after some days had passed, they all learned that the peace between Saxons and Danes had been broken.

Torthred then learned that his sister Tova had been captured by Krok Uxiblóð, who came to the monastery and demanded a ransom. The next day, Almund joined Torthred with three other monks to meet Krok's warriors and Tova to exchange the ransom for her. However, the three other monks happened to be Geirmund, Rafn, and Vetr, who killed the Krok's warriors and freed Tova. Racing back to Medeshamstede, Almund joined his fellow monks and left the monastery after thanking Geirmund for the rescue.
