Bengt Snivil

Bengt Snivil

Bengt Snivil (also known as "Bengt Snivel") from the House of Bjelbo was a Swedish magnate in mid-12th century.

Some more or less romantic later literature has given him the title of jarl, although no proper historical source attests to such. Romantic genealogies assign a lady Sigrid Lakman as his wife, though without historical source.fact|date=July 2007

Arguably, Bengt Snivil was that Bengt or Benedict, who was son of riksjarl Folke the Fat and Ingegerd Knutsdotter, daughter of king Canute IV of Denmark.Lindström, p 274]

Children

Children of Bengt Snivil, who thus became an ancestor of important magnates and the future royal family:

* Riksjarl Birger Brosa
* Magnus Minnesköld, father of Birger Jarl
* Probably (although not explicitly attested): riksjarl Charles the Deaf
