Eric XI Ericsson[A] or Eric the Lisp and Lame[1] (Swedish: Erik Eriksson or Erik läspe och halte; Old Norse: Eiríkr Eiríksson; 1216 – 2 February 1250) was King of Sweden from 1222 to 1229 and again from 1234 to 1250.[2] Being the last ruler of the House of Eric, he stood in the shadow of a succession of powerful Jarls, especially his brother-in-law Birger Jarl, whose descendants ruled as kings after his death.[3]
