  Birger jarl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Birger was born in 1210 (exact date uncertain) as the son of Magnus Minnesköld of Bjälbo and Ingrid Ylva, nephew to the Earl Birger Brosa.
Birger was elevated to the position of Jarl (directly translated: Earl, but the position was unique, not similar as earls in England) by King Eric XI in 1248 and had earlier married the king's sister Ingeborg Eriksdotter.
Ingeborg died in 1254 and in 1261 Birger married the widow of King Abel of Denmark, the queen dowager Mechtild of Holstein.

Birger Magnusson till Bjälbo var den siste i en lång rad jarlar, och använda detta som släktnamn torde vara felaktigt, i synnerhet som han förmodligen inte gjorde det själv.
Jarl är en titel, inte ett namn (varför det också bör skrivas med gemen initial), sedan är det en annan sak att han idag är känd under denna benämning, på grund av Erikskrönikan.
