1 "The Upsala kings were the highest kings in Suithiod,
at the time when there were many kings of hundreds."
Ynglingasaga, c. 40. " It is a saying of men, that Ingiald
put to death twelve kings, and all by fraud ; therefore was
he called Illrada (the bad ruler); he was king over the
greatest part of Suithiod." Ib. c. 43. " After Ingiald the
Upsala power was taken from the Ynglings," c. 45.

2 Lists of kings which do not agree, refer to a continued
partition of the kingdom under several contemporary
princes. Many sea-kings, who ruled over a great war-force,
but had no iands. Ynglingasaga, c. 34.

3 Anskar, the first teacher of Christianity.

4 When Anskar, in 853, visited Sweden for the second
time, a king Olave was ruler in Birca.

5 (Segersall.) Reigned conjointly with his brother Olave,
till the death of the latter. One Ring and his son Eric are
spoken of as kings at the same period by Adam of Bremen.

6 The first Christian king. He styles himself in the

Chronicles of the kings, the tenth over-king of his family in

Upsala (Saga of St. Olave, c. 71); but he renounced the ap-

pellation of Upsala king, and assumed that of Swede king
(Sveakonung).

7 Reigned but a short time. The year of his death is
unknown.

9 Son of the West-Gothic Earl Ragwald Ulfson. After
Stenkil’s death intestine war. Two kings Eric. Thereafter
both the sons of Stenkil, who afterwards reigned, were
chosen and driven out. Olave Naskonung is mentioned in
several old catalogues at the same time.

9 By some placed before Stenkil.

1 Sons of Stenkil. The death-year of neither is known.
Heathen counter-king, Blot Swen; then his son Eric, who
in his old age became a Christian.

2 Sons of Halstan. After the death of Inge the younger,.
Ragwald, son of Olave Naskonung, appears as king. He
was slain by the West-Goths, who chose the Danish prince
Magnus Nilson, son to a daughter of Inge the elder, and
after his death in 1134, were for some time without a
king.

3 First elected by the East-Goths.

4 Called also Eric the Lawgiver. King of Swedeland in
1150.

5 The first who is named king of the Swedes and Goths.
He overcame the murderer of St. Eric, the Danish prince
Magnus Henrickson, whom likewise the catalogue of kings
appended to the law of West-Gothland, as well as some others,
reckon as king.

6 Son of St. Eric; slew Charles Swerkerson, with two
other counter-kings, Kol and Burislef.

7 Counter-king, the Folkunger Canute Johanson, 1229—
1234.
