Rollo (Clive Standen) is the older brother of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) in Vikings. Initially aligned heavily with the Vikings, Rollo went on to strategically marry into Frankish nobility and left his pagan ways behind. Leaving Scandinavia, he settled into Christian life in Frankia.
However, in Season 5 of Vikings, Rollo did make a return to Kattegat as Ivar the Boneless (Alex Hogh Andersen) made a play for the location. During this time, he and Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) had a conversation that placed Rollo as a possible father to Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig). Previously, it had always been assumed that Bjorn was the son of Lagertha and Ragnar.
