Rögnvald Eriksson

Rögnvald Eriksson or Ragnvald Eiriksson (c. 920-933) was, according to Egil's Saga, a son of Erik Bloodaxe. It is unclear whether Rögnvald was Erik's son by his wife Gunnhild or by another woman; the Heimskringla does not mention him among Erik's children with Gunnhild. When Egil Skallagrimsson escaped from Norway, he was pursued by Rögnvald, who was twelve years old at the time, and killed him.
