Kol Sverkerson

Kol Sverkerson

Kol Sverkerson was illegitimate son of Sverker I of Sweden, named after his ancestor as was traditional in medieval Sweden (eldest son was usually named after paternal great-grandfather or maternal grandfather). He claimed the throne, apparently in tandem with his younger half brother Boleslas Sverkerson, after his half brother Charles Sverkersson when he was murdered by Canute Ericson, and held the throne in opposition to Canute for a few years. He was probably killed in battle or murdered by Canute's men before 1170.
