After Sverre's death, his descendants would expand the influence, wealth, and power of the dynasty.
Margaret, Maid of Norway, a queen-designate of the Kingdom of Scotland, was also a member of this family.
They were the last reigning family that claimed patrilineal descent from Harald Fairhair.
The main arms of the kings belonging to the House of Sverre, was a golden crowned lion on a red field.
The lion was later supplied with a silver axe symbolising Olaf the Holy.
