Magnus (II) of Sweden

Magnus (II) of Sweden

Magnus (died 1161), son of Henry (known as "Magnus Henriksson" or "Magnus Henriksen"), was a Danish lord and the king of Sweden between 1160 and 1161, being afterwards treated as usurper.

He was the last king of the House of Stenkil in Sweden, his mother being Ingrid Ragvaldsdotter, the granddaughter of Inge I. His father was the Danish lord Henrik Skatelår, son of an illegitimate son of king Svend II of Denmark.

Magnus, a claimant to the competed throne, ambushed and killed Eric the Saint as he left the church in Uppsala. He reigned as king of almost all of Sweden until he was murdered by the men of Charles Sverkerson, the rival king.
