The next source for Nerike appears in Heimskringla by Snorri Sturlusson, where the King Ingjald Ill-ruler kills King Sporsnjall of Nerike, proclaiming himself the ruler of all of Sweden.
In 1316 the future Saint_Birgitta of Sweden was married to Ulf Gudmarson, lord of Nerike, to whom she bore eight children, one of whom was afterwards honoured as St. Catherine of Sweden.

 Olaf II of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But his success was short-lived, for in 1026, he lost the Battle of the Helgeå and in 1029 the Norwegian nobles, seething with discontent, rallied round the invading Knut the Great, and Olav had to flee to Kievan Rus.
During the voyage he stayed some time in Sweden in the province of Nerike where, according to local legend, he baptized many locals.
On his return a year later, seizing an opportunity to win back the kingdom after Knut the Great's vassal Håkon Jarl was lost at sea, he fell at the Battle of Stiklestad, where his own subjects were arrayed against him.

Nerike’s shop stood on the same corner it had occupied for many years, but the paint was fresh, and as she peered into the dim interior it seemed to have been given a more feminine touch.
Warm light shone from the upstairs apartment that Nerike called home, and after a quick glance around to be sure that she had not been followed, she dropped her cloak once again to bang loudly on the door.
