Harald, a swarthy and kilted foreigner who could speak little or no Norse, captured Magnus and blinded him; then another pretender to the throne, Sigurd Slembe, who also said he was a son of Magnus Barefoot, arrived in Norway and murdered Harald.
All parties in the state, nobles, churchmen, and peasants, were against him; pretenders to the throne he had usurped threatened rebellion; yet Sverre triumphed over all opposition and remained king of Norway until his death in 1202.
He was followed on the throne by his son Eric (1280-1299) and afterwards by his second son Haakon V (1299-1319); Haakon married his only legitimate heir, a daughter, to the son of King Magnus Ladulås of Sweden, and the son of this union in due course inherited the thrones both of Sweden and Norway.

The royal family could not defeat this demand, since their relationship in legal matters, including succession law, to the collective society and its legal institutions, did not differ from that of other families or individuals, whose legal positions might be altered by resolutions of the thing.
