  Erik XIV
Two months later Erik was crowned at Uppsala, on which occasion he first introduced the titles of baron and count into Sweden, by way of attaching to the crown the higher nobility, these new counts and barons receiving lucrative fiefs adequate to the maintenance of their new dignities.
When, at the beginning of 1568, Erik recovered his reason,, a reconciliation was effected between the king and the duke, on condition that John recognized the legality of his brother's marriage with Karin Mansdatter, and her children as the successors to the throne.
Erik at first offered a stout resistance and won two victories; but on the 17th of September the dukes stood before Stockholm, and Erik, after surrendering Göran Persson to the horrible vengeance of his enemies, himself submitted, and resigned the crown.

Allt sedan Erik börjat uppträda offentligt, kallades han "utvald konung" (efter riksdagen i Stockholm 1560, ännu före faderns död, Sveriges "arvkonung").
