Ragnvald Knaphövde
Ragnvald Knaphövde or Ragnvald the Fool (king 1125) is only mentioned in the law of Westrogothia.
When he had been elected king at Uppsala, 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 Westrogothia, and as a consequence he was slain near Falköping in Westrogothia.
