King Charles is killed on the island of Visingsö by supporters of Canute Eriksson, head of the rival Eric dynasty, who usurps the Swedish throne in the spring of 1167.
Charles is buried in Alvastra monastery.
Starting from Charles' death, his kinsmen (probably his half-brothers) Burislev and Kol together oppose Canute's kingship and are rival kings, recognized in some Gothenlander parts of Sweden.
