List Of Swedish Monarchs
This is a list of Swedish kings, queens, regents and viceroys of the Kalmar Union. History The earliest record of what is generally considered to be a Swedish king appears in Tacitus' work '' Germania'', c. 100 AD (the king of the Suiones). However, due to scant and unreliable sources before the 11th century, lists of succession traditionally start in the 10th century with king Olof Skötkonung, and his father Eric the Victorious, who also were the first Swedish kings to be baptized. There are, however, lists of Swedish pagan monarchs with far older dates, but in many cases these kings appear in sources of disputed historical reliability. These records notably deal with the legendary House of Yngling, and based on the Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus, Eric the Victorious and Olof Skötkonung have often been classified as belonging to the Swedish house of Ynglings, tracing them back to Sigurd Hring and Ragnar Lodbrok (whom Saxo considered to belong to the House of Yngling).

Inge I Of Sweden
Inge the Elder (Swedish: ''Inge Stenkilsson''; Old Norse: ''Ingi Steinkelsson''; died c. 1105–1110) was a king of Sweden. In English literature he has also been called ''Ingold''. While scant sources do not allow us to paint a full picture of his term of kingship, he is known to have led a turbulent but at length successful reign of more than two decades. He stands out as a devout Christian who founded the first abbey in Sweden and acted harshly against pagan practices. The kingdom was still an unstable realm based on alliances of noblemen, and Inge's main power base was in Västergötland and Östergötland; one of the earliest chronicles that mention his reign knows him as ''rex gautorum'', king of the Geats.Peter Sawyer, ''När Sverige blev Sverige''.

Philip Of Sweden
Philip or Filip () was King of Sweden from c. 1105–1110 until 1118. He was a son of King Halsten Stenkilsson and nephew of King Inge the Elder. Philip and his brother Inge the Younger ruled together from 1105 or 1110 and onwards as successors of their uncle King Inge the Elder. According to the records of the Westrogothic law (''Västgötalagen'') he was a good king. Little else is known about him. Hardly any other Swedish king who was the undisputed ruler of the kingdom after the Christianization is less known than Philip. According to the '' Hervarar saga'', he ruled only for a short time and was married to Ingegard, the daughter of the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada. Philip was probably buried with his brother Inge the Younger in Vreta Abbey (''Vreta kloster och kyrka'') at Linköping in Östergötland, Sweden.

Stenkil
Stenkil (Old Norse: ''Steinkell'') was a King of Sweden who ruled c. 1060 until 1066. He succeeded Emund the Old and became the first king from the House of Stenkil. He is praised as a devout Christian, but with an accommodating stance towards the old Pagan religion. His brief reign saw an armed conflict with Norway. Family background The '' Hervarar saga'' (13th century) describes Stenkil as the son of Ragnvald the Old and Astrid Njalsdotter, the daughter of Njal Finnsson from Hålogaland in Norway and a cognatic descendant of Harald Fairhair. Later historians have identified the father of Stenkil as Ragnvald Ulfsson who was the earl of Staraya Ladoga and the grandson of the legendary Viking Skoglar Toste, but this presumed family-connection is not supported by any other sources and must therefore be regarded as very uncertain. The Icelandic sagas mention a wife and two sons of Ragnvald Ulfsson but none are identified with Stenkil and his mother Astrid. The contemporary chronicl ...

Eric And Eric
Eric and Eric, according to Adam of Bremen, were two contenders for the kingship of Sweden around 1066–67, after the death of King Stenkil. They waged war on each other, with disastrous consequences: " this war all the Swedish magnates are said to have fallen. The two kings also perished then. When the entire royal clan was thus entirely extinct, conditions in the kingdom were changed and Christianity was disturbed to a high degree. The bishops that the Archbishop f Bremen">Bremen.html" ;"title="f Bremen">f Bremenhad anointed for this land stayed back home due to fear of persecutions. Only the bishop in Scania took care of the churches of the Geats, and the Swedish Swedish jarls, Jarl Gnif strengthened his people in the Christian faith." Nothing more is known about the two Erics, though some modern historians speculated that one of them was a Christian son of Stenkil, and the other a pagan; accordingly, they are sometimes assigned the invented names of ''Eric Stenkilsson'' and ' ...

Saint Ingamoder Emundsdotter Of Sweden
''Ingamoder'' is a Swedish name invented in modern times for the daughter of King Emund the Old who was married to King Stenkil of Sweden and whose given name is not known. It translates to English as "Mother of Inge" (that is of King Inge the Elder). Biography The woman was born about 1025 to King Emund. She married Stenkil, who would later inherit her father's title. According to a few more or less reliable sources King Stenkil had four sons, of which the first two can be considered known to history: * Inge the Elder, King of Sweden * Halsten Stenkilsson, King of Sweden * Sweyn Stenkilsson * Eric Purported identity as ''Ingemo'' ''Ingemo'' was a local Swedish saint in Västergötland, however, she was not officially sanctioned and recognized by the Church.

Anund Gårdske
Anund from Russia (Swedish: ''Anund Gårdske'') was the king of Sweden around 1070 according to Adam of Bremen's ''Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum''.The article ''Anund'' in ''Nationalencyklopedin''. According to this source, Anund came from Kievan Rus', presumably from Aldeigjuborg. ''Gårdske'' means that he came from '' Gardariki'' which was one of the Scandinavian names for Kievan Rus'. As a Christian he refused to carry out the public sacrifice to the Norse gods, presumably at the Temple at Uppsala, and was consequently deposed. He "left the Thing in joy, for having been found worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus". This happened shortly before the completion of Adam of Bremen's chronicle in the mid-1070s.Adam av Bremen (1984), ''Historien om Hamburgstiftet och dess biskopar''. Stockholm: Proprius, p. 252 (Book IV, Scholion 140). A hypothesis suggests that Anund and Inge the Elder were the same person, as several sources mention Inge as a fervent Christian ...
