Sweden Kings -‰ http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SWEDEN.htm#IngigerdOlafsddied1050
From the Swedish Wikipedia page on Erik Segersall:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Segers%C3%A4ll
Erik Segersâ§ll (Old Norse: Eirikrâ¶r sigrsâ¶t, [source needed] by Adam of Bremen in Latin called Hericus Victor ), dead 995, was a Swedish king, who possibly occasionally also ruled over Denmark. He is the first Swedish king to know something definite about [4] and he is the first king to whom he believes he knew mastered the entire area that today constitutes Svealand, Vâ§stergââtland and âñstergââtland, that is, most of the area that would come to form the early-medieval Sweden.
Erik is usually considered to be the one who founded Sigtuna.
reign
The sources that tell about the Erik Segersâ§ll government are mainly Icelandic fairy tales and Adam of the Bremma chronicle. It can be seen from this that he has, among other things, conquered and ruled over Denmark, and where he has been baptized, but when he returned to Sweden he returned to paganism. The sources, however, suffer from problems: the most elaborate fairy tales are very late, and Adam of Bremen's tendency to blacken the Danish king Sven Tveskâ§gg causes his tasks to be exaggerated.
Battle of Fyrisvallarna
According to the stories, he will have co-ordinated with his younger brother Olof at the time of his admission. Olof must, however, have died young and Erik became king alone. According to late stories, Olof has left behind a son named Styrbjörn who claimed his father's right to the throne. Erik refused to acknowledge this right, but gave Styrbjörn 60 equipped ships. Styrbjörn will have succeeded in taking Jomsvikinga's stronghold Jomsborg, so the Danish king Harald Bluetooth was so grateful that he allied himself with him. With his allies, Styrbjörn sometime around 985 should go to Uppland to dismiss Erik. Once there, Styrbjörn will have burned his own ships to prevent his men from fleeing, with the Danes returning home. Erik and Styrbjörn will have met in the three-day battle at Fyrisvallarna outside Gamla Uppsala in Uppland. Styrbjörn shall have fallen and Erik was the winner, and he was named "Victory Hall". [7] Whether such a blow really occurred, or if Styrbjorn is at all historical, cannot be determined. [9]
Soon after that Erik, as a revenge for the Danes supporting Styrbjâârn, [source is needed] should have displaced the Danish king Sven Tveskâ§gg from Denmark and ruled over this kingdom until his death [1]. In Denmark, sometime during the period 990-992 he must have moved to Christianity and let himself be baptized, but shortly thereafter returned to asatron. [1] He died either in the fall of 994 or the winter of 995 [1] in illness (soot death) on the royal farm in Old Uppsala and is believed to be buried in one of the smaller burial mounds there [5]. He was succeeded by his son Olof Sk√∂tkonung.
From the Adams of Bremen chronicle
Erik, the King of the Swedes, concluded a treaty with the very powerful King Boleslav of the Poles. This gave Erik his daughter or sister to be genuine. Because of this union, the Danes were attacked jointly by the slaves and the Swedes.
Erik Segersâ§ll was married to either the West Gothic granddaughter Sigrid Storrââ¢da or âöwiÆôtosâÇawa (also known as Gunhild) of Poland, daughter of Prince Mieszko I of Poland [ES II: 114].
The sources disagree as to who was Erik's queen and who of the above-mentioned women who are considered most credible depends entirely on how to value the sources' reliability. The Icelandic sources and Saxo Grammaticus say that it was Sigrid Storråda and she gets a lot of space in their stories. Adam of Bremen, on the other hand, states that she was an unnamed Slavic princess, sister or daughter of Boleslav, who in a later addition to his book is named Gunhild. The marriage was a sign of a union between Erik and Boleslav directed against the Danish king Harald Bluetooth. If he with Boleslav thinks the Polish king Boleslav I becomes the problem, since it ruled after Harald Bluetooth's death.
For a long time, the historians considered that the stories of the West Gothic granddaughter Sigrid Storråda were fictitious and that the names Sigrid and Gunhild were both distortions of the Polish name Swiatoslawa. Nowadays, however, the commute has begun to swing again in favor of Sigrid Storråda and it is now increasingly believed that it is Adam of Bremen who has misunderstood the matter.
According to the unreliable Ingvar the white-haired tale, Erik must also have been married to Aud Håkansdotter.

Another name for Eric was Erik VII Segersâ§ll of Sweden.
General Notes:
Eric the Victorious (VI), or Erik Segersâ§ll, (985?- 995), was king of the Swedes during the last two decades of the 10th century.
The extent of his kingdom is disputed. In addition to the Svealand heartland round lake Mâ§laren it may have extended down the Baltic Sea coast as far south as Blekinge. Details on Eric's reign are sparse. It is claimed that he defeated a major Danish army under the command of his nephew Styrbj√∂rn Starke at the Fyris Wolds at Old Uppsala, from which his accolade "the victorious" stems. In all probability he founded the town of Sigtuna, which still exists and where the first Swedish coins were stamped for his son and successor Olof Sk√∂tkonung.
Eric is claimed to have married Sigrid the Haughty, daughter of Mieszko I of Poland, in the 980s.
According to the Sagas, Eric the Victorious ruled together with his brother Olof (II) Björnsson. After Olof Björnsson's death, Eric proclaimed his still unborn child co-ruler instead of his nephew Styrbjörn Starke. The disinherited Styrbjörn was to attack Eric with a large Danish force. The victory rendered Eric the cognomen "Victorious".
However, Adam of Bremen, who is considered to be more reliable than the sagas, only gives Emund Eriksson as predecessor to Eric the Victorious. He does, however, not claim that Emund was the father of Erik, and nothing contradicts the possibility that Emund and Björn were co-rulers, like Erik and Olof and their semi-legendary ancestors Björn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale.
Munsöslekten etterfulgte Lodbrokslekten som konger av Sverige fra 785 til 1056. Erik regnes som den første historiske kongen av et samlet Sverige. Slekten ble etterfulgt av Stenkilslekten.
Det foreligger ingen vitnesikre opplysninger om Eriks byrd. I islandsk litteratur berettes at han skulle vâ¶re sâânn til en kong Bjâârn. Dette er imidlertid historiskt umulig, og man har i stedet antatt at han skulle vâ¶re sâânn til den Emund Eriksson, som Adam av Bremen i sin krâânika oppfâârer som svensk konge umiddelbart fââr Erik. Unektelig finnes det ikke noe som hindrer at Eriks far het Emund, en sâânnesâânn til Erik bar dette navn, eller at han som Erik hadde vâ¶rt svensk konge. At navneskikken bland Eriks arvtagere er den samme som hos hans foretredere p√• tronen gj√∏r det imidlertid sannsynlig at hans tronebestigelse ikke innebar et nytt dynasti.
Erik hadde seiersrike strider med sine fiender. Mest kjent er slaget ved Fyrisvallene, hvor han seiret over anfallende skånske vikinger. I allianse med slavere har han i henhold til en kilde bekjempet Danmark, at han også erobret landet og der mottok dåpen er omstridt. I de nordiske sagaene er Erik ofte omtalt, og hans historie overdrives kraftig. Det ovennevnte slaget ved Fyrisvallene skal han ifølge sagaene ha utkjempet mot sin brorsønn Styrbjørn og for seieren fått vie seg selv til Odin. Slaget skal ha funnet sted i 982.
Brorsâânnen skulle tidligere ha flyktet til Danmark og blitt hââvding i Jomsborg. Med hjelp av Harald Blââ¢tann kunne han sette seg i spissen for en mektig hâ¶r og dra mot sin farbror. Styrbjâârn falt i slaget ved Fyrisvallene. Etter seieren fikk Erik tilnavnet "Segersâ§ll".
I henhold til sagaene skal Erik ha vâ¶rt gift med Sigrid Storrââ¢de, men i virkeligheten var han gift med en slavisk prinsesse.
From Snorre Sturlasson: Harald Hårfagre's Saga:
"28. KING EIRIK EYMUNDSON'S DEATH.
Duke Guthorm dwelt principally at Tunsberg, and governed the whole of Viken when the king was not there. He defended the land, which, at that time, was much plundered by the vikings. There were disturbances also up in Gautland as long as King Eirik Eymundson lived; but he died when King Harald Harfager had been ten years king of all Norway."
"29.GUTHORM'S DEATH IN TUNSBERG.
After Eirik, his son Bjorn was king of Svithjod for fifty years. He was father of Eirik the Victorious, and of Olaf the father of Styrbjorn. Guthorm died on a bed of sickness at Tunsberg, and King Harald gave his son Guthorm the government of that part of his dominions and made him chief of it."
Noted events in his life were:
·Ä¢ Acceded: King of Sweden, Cir 965.
·Ä¢ Acceded: King of Sweden, 980.
Eric married Sigrid Toftesdatter Storråde, daughter of Skoglar-Toste and Unknown. (Sigrid Toftesdatter Storråde was born in 967 and died in 1014.)
Eric next married Gunhild Mieczyslavsdatter of Poland, daughter of Mieszko I of Poland and Dobrawka of Bohemia, circa 980-985. (Gunhild Mieczyslavsdatter of Poland was born in 967 and died in 1014 5.)
A History of Sweden from the Earliest Times to the Present Day By Neander Nicolas Cronholm
Published 1902
King Eric died in the meantime in the year 993 A. D. and was succeeded by his son Olaf.
The Danish King Sven made a friendly alliance with Olaf of Sweden and was restored to his kingdom, and married Sigrid, the mother of King Olaf. The Queen, who because of her pride was called Storrada, was sought by many in marriage after she became a widow. Two petty rulers who visited her for the purpose of seeking her hand, she caused to be burned alive.
Finally she accepted the hand of the Norwegian King Olaf; but when he despised her because she was not willing to adopt Christianity, she made an oath that she would at last cause his death; and after she had married the Danish King Sven she formed an alliance between the Danish and Swedish Kings against the Norwegian Ruler.
From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on Sweden:
http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SWEDEN.htm
ERIK, son of [OLOF Erikson King of Sweden] & his wife --- (-Uppsala [994/95]).
Snorre names "Eirik the Victorious and Olaf, the father of Styrbjorn" as the sons of Bjorn Eriksson[22]. According to Saxo Grammaticus[23], Erik was the son of Olof and deposed his cousin Styrbjâârn in [984/85], succeeding as ERIK "Segersâ§ll/the Victorious" King of Sweden.
Adam of Bremen records that "rex Sueonum Hericus" invaded Denmark and expelled King Svend[24]. He also records that King Erik was converted to Christianity and baptised in Denmark but may have relapsed into paganism on returning to Sweden[25].
According to Snorre, he died "in a sickbed at Uppsala 10 years after the death of Styrbjörn"[26], and in another passage that his wife was a widow in 994[27].
m (before [985]) as her first husband, SIGRID "Storråda/the Haughty", daughter of "Skoglar" TOSTE & his wife ---.
Snorre names Sigrid as daughter of "Skoglar" Toste and refers to her marriage to "the Swedish king, Eirik the Victorious"[28]. Saxo Grammaticus names "Syritha" as mother of "Erici filius Olavus"[29]. The Fagrskinna names Sigrid, mother of King Olof, as daughter of Skoglar-Tosta[30]. Morkinskinna names "Sigridr en stââ¥rrâ°da" as mother of ·Äúthe lady âÅstrââ dr·Ä¶sister of two kings, Knââ«tr the Great and âìlâ°fr the Swede·Äù who married ·ÄúJarl âölfr sprakaleggr·Äù[31].
According to Snorre[32], she was a widow in 994.
She married secondly ([1000]) Svend I "Tveskâ¶g/Forkbeard" King of Denmark. Adam of Bremen records the marriage of Svend King of Denmark and "Herici relictam, matrem Olaph"[33].
If it is correct that Sigrid was the mother of Olav, it necessarily places her first marriage to King Erik before [985] at the latest, assuming that King Olof's daughter Ingigerd was born in [1000/03] as shown below.
King Erik & his wife had [two] children:
1. Olof (b. before 985, d. 1022, married Estred of the Obotrites, King of Sweden 995-1022, OUR ANCESTOR)
2. Homfrid (married Sven Haakonsson)
-----------------------------------
According to Heimskringla of Snorre Sturleson[7], the early kings of Sweden were as follows.‰ There is little reason to be confident about the order and dating of these kings.‰ If their names are correct, it would appear to extend the known history of the Swedish kings back to the early 9th century.‰
