History

Grim Ragnarsson, third son of an Icelandic farmer Ragnar Olafsson. The farm in Bakkagerdi in the north east of Iceland was too small to provide a decent living for the family.
Grim was given funds to arm himself and buy some of the shaggy wool which Icelandic weavers were famous, and was taken on board a ship to go 'a viking'. He had a good voyage.
Then Grim spent time raiding and trading in Ireland, and the west coast of Britian. Finally settling in the north west of England, he joined a raiding party, eventually ending up in London where he bought some land in the town for a building.
Grim fought for a local warlord, Thorbjorn of the Temesvikings, before moving to a farm of his own and joining the rest of Haukur
