Hvitserk was one of the sons of legendary Viking king Ragnar Lothbrok. The latter had it with his wife Aslaug. Having noticed that Hvitserk is never mentioned when Halfdan Ragnarsson , the other leader of the Great Viking Army who raided the Kingdom of East Anglia in 865, is mentioned, several scholars have suggested that the name Hvitserk and the name Halfdan were referring to the same person.
Born between the first two episodes of season 2 of the series, Hvitserk Ragnarsson appears in seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5 and for a total of 27 episodes. Her first appearance was in the episode "Fragrance Alliance". We see him running away with his family, especially with his brother Ubbe, with his mother Aslaug, with his uncle Rollo.
