Magnus Ladulås

Magnus Ladulås (c. 1240–1290), second son of Birger Jarl, was King of Sweden from 1275 until his death. On his father's death in 1266 he inherited the title Duke of Sweden.

In 1275, backed by King Eric Klipping of Denmark, he rebelled with his brother Erik against their elder brother King Valdemar and defeated him at the Battle of Hova, being elected king at the Stones of Mora the following month.

He lost provinces in Götaland to Valdemar in 1277, recovered them around 1278 and added the title King of the Goths. He died in 1290, leaving his ten-year-old son Birger to rule under the regency of Torkel Knutsson.
