Emund the Old

Emund the Old, also called the Bad (died c. 1060), was a son of Olof Skötkonung by his Slavic co-wife Edla and succeeded his half-brother Anund Jacob c. 1050. Baptized but lukewarm in the faith, he defied the Archbishopric of Bremen by keeping his own bishop, Osmundus, consecrated in Poland.

His son Anund perished on an eastern expedition, and drought brought famine in 1056. Emund died c. 1060, the last king of the old Swedish dynasty; Stenkil, possibly his son-in-law, succeeded him.
