About Toki son of Wigod
Toki son of Wigod was an English soldier.
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.
William's biographer David Bates suggests that this shows Toki to have been a member of William's elite personal military household.
