Cause of Death: Slain at The Battle of Jolly Roger Bay (Aged 52)About: King Knut Bloodaxe was the firstborn of Ivar Redtooth's third wife. He was a very hot-headed and agressive king who was quick to anger. He was also very skilled in combat and an effective leader, he is said to have defeated Sir Patrick Montegue of The Knights of the Hexagon Table in battle during Harold II's reign and made a cage out of his bones. Many of his brothers were killed by Harold II and his men during the SharpFang Invasions which only made Knut more agressive and bloodthirsty. When he seized the Koopa Throne in 1147, he ordered Harold's family to be executed, however, his wife and children had fled to the Frosted Kingdom upon hearing of their arrival. Knut would have an uneasy and rather short reign, running several kingdoms at once proved to be a very difficult challenge. Eventually he was forced to leave the Koopa Kingdom when he lost control of the Vine Kingdom, which his father had conquered years prior. He gathered his men and sailed back to reclaim it. While he was gone, Harold II's son Henry took advantage of this and travelled to Castle Koopa and took back the throne. Knut was furious and returned with an army, but upon his arrival, he was ambushed and slain in battle by Henry, along with several of his siblings and children.
