Eric the Victorious

King of Sweden
Years: 945 - 995

Eric the Victorious (945?

– c. 995) is the first Swedish king (970–995) about whom anything definite is known.

Whether he actually qualifies as King of Sweden has been debated, as his son Olof Skötkonung is the first ruler documented to have been accepted both by the Svear around Lake Mälaren and by the Götar around Lake Vättern.
