About Ida Nielsen
Ida Marie Nielsen plays Margrethe in Vikings. Her other screen credits include Cecilie in Anna Pihl, Molly in KLEMT and Marrit in Ripple. Those roles provide specific starting points for exploring her work beyond the Kattegat storyline and Margrethe’s increasingly strained position within the household of Ragnar’s sons.
Anna Pihl is the clearest television title to seek out first, while KLEMT offers another character credit. Follow Cecilie for a Danish television starting point or Molly for a separate screen role. Both give viewers a route beyond Margrethe’s increasingly troubled place within Ubbe and Hvitserk’s part of the saga.
