 | | The antagonists in long run were finally the House of Sverker in Ostrogothia and the House of Erik in Uplandia, which alternated on the throne for several generations, until in 1220's, the Eric dynasty got the upper hand and the Sverker dynasty had gone extinct (at least in male line). |
 | | Erik, the posthumous son of Erik Knutsson, now came to the throne, but he proved an incompetent ruler and was for a time deposed. |
