Biography

Toke eller Valtoke skall ha varit en svensk storman, "jarl af Vendsyssel og Skåne" som levde i slutet av 900-talet. Han var möjligen som till Gorm den gamle men påstås i så fall vara ett av hans oäkta barn.

Han dog 980-985 under slaget vid Fyrisvallarna. Även hans son Asbjörn skall ha dött i samma slag.

Han nämns på en runsten i Aars vid Aars Kirke, den så kallade Års-stenen, rest mellan 970 och 1020, och där man kan läsa;

Asser satte denne sten efter sin herre Valtoke.
Stenen forkynder at den længe vil stå her, den skal nævne Valtokes varde.

Ytterligare en son, Odinkar, skall ha varit biskop i Ribe. Han omnämns av Adam av Bremen som son av "Toki, hertig af Vendsyssel".
