Birger Brosa (Old Norse: Birgir Brósa; died 9 January 1202) was the jarl of Sweden from 1174 to 1202.
[1] Before 1170, Birger was married to Brigida Haraldsdotter, the daughter of Norwegian King Harald Gille.
[3] Birger appears to have maintained peace in Sweden during the civil wars that ravaged Denmark and Norway.
Among them were the Birkebeiner chieftains Eystein Meyla and Sverre Sigurdsson who were kinsmen of Brigida Haraldsdotter.
He was a great donor to Riseberga Abbey in Närke, where his widow Brigida spent her last years after Birger's death.
