Magnus Henriksson

After Henrik's death, Ingrid remarried thrice, with Harald Gille of Norway, then Ottar Birting, and finally Arne from Stårheim.

After this feat Magnus reigned as king over most of Sweden, but apparently not Östergötland, which was ruled by Karl Sverkersson since c. 1158.

According to the 15th-century historian Ericus Olai, some followers of Erik the Saint survived the assault in Östra Aros and fled to the north, to Helsingland, where they spread opposition against the usurper king.

His uterine brother Nikolas Arnesson was Bishop of Oslo, and an opponent of Sverre of Norway, the son-in-law of Erik the Saint.

[10] Queen Bridget later remarried with the powerful jarl Birger Brosa (d. 1202) and became the ancestress of a branch of the House of Bjälbo, and the grandmother of John I of Sweden.

This 16th-century grave monument at Vreta is thought to have been for King Magnus Henriksson (not Magnus Nielsen as the stone shows), though his actual burial probably took place elsewhere within the cloister compound, now in ruins. [ 2 ]
