Bjarke Broadside

Bjarke Broadside (died 870) was a Viking warrior from the Wolf Clan.

Biography

In 870, Bjarke was present when Taras and Roscoe told Kjotve the Cruel of their failures and paid for it. Kjotve then sent Bjarke and a few other warriors to the Temple of Heimdall atop the Feiknstafir mountains to retrieve its riches.

There, the gathering was interrupted by Gull leading the Raven Clan shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir to them. After some fighting, Eivor laid on the ground bleeding, telling Bjarke that she would not be a prize and that, by the end of the day, any riches of Heimdall would be hers, on Styrbjorn's name. Bjarke informed her that, at that very moment, Styrbjorn was already dead as a result of a raid in Stavanger.

Despite Gull's help in subduing Eivor, Bjarke began beating and insulting the thrall while demanding that she tell them the location of Heimdall's treasure. Eivor taunted Bjarke and, when the warrior went to beat Gull again, she tackled him to the ground. Bjarke was dumbfounded that Eivor would protect the one who had betrayed her, but easily tossed her off the temple, seemingly to her death.

At that moment, the weakened foundations shook, scaring Erland. Eivor took advantage of this to sneak up behind Bjarke and stab him through the back of the head with a sword before turning to fight the other Wolf Clan warriors.
