Canute II of Sweden

Canute II, called Knut the Tall (Knut Långe, died 1234), was a Swedish noble of the House of Bjälbo and a councillor to the young Eric XI. After Eric was overthrown following the Battle of Olustra in 1229, Canute became king and was recognized by 1231.

Laws from his reign barred creditors from entering debtors' homes without an official and required the king to hold judicial reviews at least every third year. He died in 1234 and was buried at Sko Abbey; Eric XI then regained the throne.
