Toki son of Wigod
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (November 2023) |
Toki, son of Wigod of Wallingford, was an Englishman in the service of William the Conqueror.
The ‘D’ version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Toki was killed fighting for William against his eldest son Robert Curthose at Gerberoi during the winter of 1078/ 1079. It records that Toki was killed by a crossbow bolt immediately after supplying William with a new horse.[1]
William's biographer David Bates suggests that this shows Toki to have been a member of William's elite personal military household.[1]
