Rikari as Old Scandinavian:

=== Rikr Ari (the -r in Rikr isn’t supposed to be pronounced) === 

• RíkR – Old Norse given name per Viking Answer Lady – http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml
• Ari – Old Norse given name or byname per Viking Answer Lady – ibid 

=== Rikari af Kiersted === 

• Rikari – plausible deuterothematic Old Norse name
  • Rik- first element documented by Viking Answer Lady in names such as Ríkólfr “mighty wolf” and Rikviðr “mighty tree”.
  • -ari plausible second element meaning “eagle” or “hearth”. See Ari (given name meaning “eagle”) and Alfarinn (second element -arinn from -arin/orn “eagle” or -arinn “hearth”. All per Viking Answer Lady, ibid.
• af Kiersted – plausible Old Danish locative byname
  • Kier- first element seen in early 15th century placenames such as Kiergaard, Kierherritt, Kierebierg and Kiersgaard (under Kær- and Kärr-) in the Diplomaticum Danicum placenames – http://diplomatarium.dk/dd/register/place_4rk.html
  • -sted second element see in early 15th century placenames such as Fauersted, Grydsted, Haldensted, etc. in the Diplomaticum Danicum placenames, http://diplomatarium.dk/dd/register/place_4rk.html
  • -sted also seems to be in Finnur Jónsson. Lexica Poetica at Septentrionalia. Copenhagen: S.L. Møllers. 1931. http://www.septentrionalia.net/lex/index.php?book=e&page=535&ext=png
  • af X is standard Danish locative form per SENA Appendix A: Patterns That Do Not Need Further Documentation by Language Group

Submitter would also accept Rikkari, Rik- plus -kari.

• Blákári – a compound with the OW.Norse adjective blár “black” and the OW.Norse adjective *kárr (from Germanic *kaura- “bowed, curved”) with the sense partly of “curly, wavy,” and partly “obstinate, pugnacious, reluctant.” Alternately, the second part may be the masculine name Kári (see below) with a prefixed by-name of Blá- “black, blue, bruise-colored.”
• Kári – found in Old Danish as Kari, in Old Swedish as Kare, and in OW.Norse as Kári; all three forms are found both as a personal name and as a by-name.

We note that Rikari could also be a plausible Old Scandinavian spelling of the saint name Ricarius (based on above name forms). The so-called “Somme Vikings” were active in the area of the Abbey of St. Richarius (founded c. 625) near Abbeville, France in the late 800s, and were hired by Frankish Kings to help fight the “Seine Vikings” who were threatening Paris (and came to form the Duchy of Normandy). One of the “Somme Vikings” called Hastein went raiding in Wessex and had to have two of his sons baptized as Christians in a deal with Alfred the Great in 893. The Battle of Saurcourt between the Scandinavian raider/settlers and the Franks, took place less than 15 miles from the Abbey of St. Richarius in 881.

PN.1 B. 2. Sources of Name Phrases: …

d. Borrowed Names: Name phrases may be borrowed from secular literature, from the Bible or other religious literature, or from the names of saints, either as whole name phrases or as name elements to construct a name phrase. In either case, the name phrase must be demonstrated to meet the following requirements.

• • 1. Linguistically Appropriate Form: The name phrase must be shown to be a form by which the character or person was known in that time and place. Generally this means finding it in the literature of that time (such as a Renaissance Italian Bible, or an English publication of an Arthurian romance). In the case of a saint, evidence for that saint’s veneration through the naming of churches is generally allowed. Only the form of the name used in that culture is allowed under this allowance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Riquier – region in France around the abbey of St. Richarius. Currently in Haut-de-France region, in the part that was Picardy. It is only about 4 miles NE from Abbeville, which is on the Somme and was the capital of Ponthieu. Abbeville is now about 12 miles from the English Channel.

Abbeville on Wikipedia:

In the 7th century, the Benedictine monks of Saint-Valéry, Saint-Josse, Saint-Saulve de Montreuil, Forest-Montiers, Balance and Valloirescleared the woods that were close to their monasteries. The Frankish king Dagobert I then gave part of the forest of Crécy, the hermitage became the Abbey of Saint-Riquier (fr): it is the Act of birth of the abbatial field of Abbeville. The name, Abbeville, comes from the Latin and means “town(or more exactly) field of Abbots” (of Saint-Riquier).

The first historical mention of Abbeville, in the Chronicle of Hariulf (fr),[note 3] dates to 831 AD. It was a small island in the Somme, inhabited by fishermen who refuged there with their boats and had fortified it against barbarian invasions from the north. The Abbot Angilbert built a castle to defend this island, which depended on the Abbey of Saint-Riquier.[20][32] It was an important fort city responsible for the defense of the Somme.

In 992, Hugh Capet fortified the city and gave it to his daughter, Gisèle, on her marriage with Hugh I, Count of Ponthieu who resided in Montreuil.

Medieval Danish form of Abbeville:

Abbeville (Frankrig) = Abeuile

Somme Vikings:

Who were these viking raiders and what prompted them to raid Wessex in 860? Contemporary Frankish chronicles, in particular the Annals of StBertin, permit us to track in unique detail the movements of these vikings before and after they undertook their ill-fated expedition to Wessex...

According to the Annals of St Bertin, these same vikings had established themselves the previous year near the Somme River. There they had come to an agreement with King Charles the Bald to drive off or kill a different band of vikings who had built fortified island-bases fortress first at Jeufosse and subsequently at Oissel in the Seine… Charles agreed to pay the Somme vikings three thousand pounds of silver… While Charles raised the cash by taxing the treasures of churches and the houses and moveable wealth of landholders and merchants, the Somme vikings took hostages from the Franks and struck out across the Channel. Their rough reception at the hands of the West Saxons persuaded them to return toFrancia where, under the leadership of a chieftain named Weland, they finally fulfilled their bargain with Charles by besieging the Oisselstronghold of the Seine vikings, who in the meanwhile had sacked Paris in January 861.

Viking Conversions:

It may have been a different Viking named Hastein who landed in England in 892. The Hastein of the Noirmoutier raids (834–835) would have been at least 71 years old… His army, the smaller of the two, landed in 80 ships and occupied the royal village of Milton in Kent, whilst his allies landed atAppledore with 250 ships.[7] Alfred the Great positioned the West Saxon army between them to keep them from uniting, the result of which was that Hastein agreed terms, including allowing his two sons to be baptised, and left Kent for Essex..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastein

The Battle of Saucourt

occurred between Danish forces of pagan Viking warriors and the Christian troops of Carolingian joint Kings Louis III of France and Carloman II on 3 August 881 at Saucourt-en-Vimeu. Following the Battle of Thimeon near Charleroi where the Vikings were defeated by Louis the Younger, King of East Francia, they resumed their raids on the Frankish kingdom, reaching Kortrijk in November 880 and Cambrai and Arras in December. Earlier in 881, they sacked Amiens and Corbie.

Louis and Carloman were victorious in what must have been a rare pitched battle against the northern raiders in which some 8,000 Vikings were slain. The battle is celebrated in the Old High German poem Ludwigslied.[1]

The hamlet of Saucourt is between Valines and Fressenneville, around 10 miles west of Abbeville. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
