Svend Tronkræver

Svend Tronkræver, or Svend Svendsen (died 1104), was an illegitimate son of King Sweyn II Estridsson of Denmark. When Eric Evergood died in 1103, Svend claimed the crown. Traveling to the royal election at Viborg he fell ill, yet pressed on lest rivals arrive first, and died of the hardships in 1104.

His younger brother Niels was elected king instead. His son was Henrik Skadelår, and his grandson Magnus Henriksen ruled briefly as king of Sweden.
