Skoglar Toste

Snorri Sturlusson recounts in Heimskringla that he was a great Viking who often waged war and that is why he was called "Skagul's Tosti".

[2][3] Toste is mentioned in several sagas, most notable in Heimskringla.

For some time he gave refuge to Harald Grenske, who later came back to woo Sigrid, only to be killed by her for his persistence.

According to the sagas, Skoglar Toste was also the father of Ulf Tostesson, father of Ragnvald Ulfsson and grandfather of Stenkil who became the King of Sweden in 1060.

Toste has been connected to the U 344 runestone in Orkesta in Vallentuna, near Stockholm, which tells of how Ulf of Borresta three times took danegeld: Translation:

The rune stone U 344 in Orkesta, Uppland , Sweden , mentions a Toste who had led a successful expedition.
