Kjotve the Rich

Kjotve the Rich (Old Norse: Kjǫtvi hinn auðgi, Norwegian: Kjøtve den Rike) was a king of Agder, then one of the petty kingdoms of Norway during the late 9th century.

Defeated by Harald, Kjotve fled; many of his allies were killed in the battle.

A character loosely inspired by the historical Kjotve, nicknamed "Kjotve the Cruel", appears in an antagonistic role during the opening hours of the 2020 video game Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Kjotve the Cruel has one son named Gorm, who features periodically throughout the game, and Kjotve is revealed through the mobile game Assassin's Creed: Rebellion to have a second son, Hrolfr.

Kjotve appears in Paradox Interactive's video game Crusader Kings, and its two sequels, ruling the province of Agder.
