Knut Tjodolf is the half-brother of Earl Haraldson.

Biography

Season 1

Knut was among the Viking warriors who met at the home of Erik to discuss a voyage to the west with Ragnar Lothbrok. However, he betrays Ragnar and his crew by going to Earl Haraldson to tell him of their plans. When Ragnar returns successful and asks Earl Haraldson for permission to go on a second raid to England, Haraldson sends Knut to watch Ragnar.

Knut arrives at the docks, prepared to join the crew on their second raid. While preparing the ship, he begins eyeing Lagertha with malice. Rollo sees this and attacks him in front of the group. Rollo holds him in a choke hold and tells him that he is as good as dead if he betrays them. He asks if they can trust him to have their backs on the journey and Knut says yes.

During the raid, Knut separates from the group and enters a house. Seeing a woman and her daughter in the house, he takes the opportunity and tries to rape the mother. Lagertha, however, sees this and tries to stop him. A fight ensues and, when he thinks he has the upper hand, tries to rape Lagertha, instead. Lagertha, however, ends up killing him.

When Lagertha later tells Ragnar, he is angered and disappointed that no one was there to witness his death.

When the earl notices Knut missing from the group, Ragnar falsely confesses to killing him, saying he saw Knut attempt to rape his wife, and the earl then uses this as basis to put Ragnar on trial. Ragnar's claims are proven true by Rollo after turning down a bribe from the earl.

Trivia

According to Gustaf Skarsgård, Knut was the most difficult name for the non-Scandinavian actors to pronounce.
