Skagul Toste

Skagul Toste

in 1060.

His name "skoglar", "skauglar" or "skagul" is due to his experience in battle ("skagul" is one of the many names for battle in Old Norse).

At Vallentuna, near Stockholm, the runestone of Orkesta (U 344) says:

"in ulfr hafir onklati * Þru kialtakat Þit uas fursta Þis tursti * Þa ---Þurktil * Þa kalt knutr"

Translation:"But Ulf has taken three danegelds in England. The first one was with Toste, the second one with Thorkel and the third one with Canute the Great".

Children according to the sagas
#Ulf Tostesson jarl.
#Sigrid the Haughty, queen of Sweden.
