Ragnvald Knaphövde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ragnvald Knaphövde or Ragnvald Roundhead (king 1125) is only mentioned in the Westrogothic law.
When he had been elected king at the Stone of Mora, he made the king's obligatory tour of Sweden (Eriksgata) to be accepted by the local tings.
However, as he despised the Geats, he foolishly did not take hostages from their powerful clans when entering Västergötland, and as a consequence he was slain near Falköping in Västergötland.
