Talk:Birger Jarl

message: Several questions:
#Who was Fr. Hedberg?
#Is it true that Mechtild was the mother of Bengt in 1254 even though she wasn't married to Birger until 1261?
#Who is the king who was Ingeborg Eriksdotter's father?  Is it the Erik Eriksson who's mentioned in the next sentence?

replies: text: Ingeborg Eriksdotter's father was Erik Knutsson (d. 1216). Ingeborg's brother was Erik Eriksson (a.k.a. Erik the lame) who made his brother-in-law (i.e. Birger) Jarl in 1248. Erik "the lame" Eriksson was the last of the House of Erik. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabbe (talk • contribs) 21:52, 6 December 2002 (UTC)

text: I just put in what 217.215.99.203 wrote in response to my 3rd question above.  If this is wrong, who WAS her brother? -- Zoe — Preceding undated comment added 22:20, 6 December 2002 (UTC)
replies: text: As named above (by 217.215.99.203) Erik Eriksson. Erik Knutsson was the father to both of them, that why they are sister and brothers. I was really thinking, because yesterday actually someone asked for genealogy information, that I should make someting more graphical. Is there any standard for such things, or can I just make a /link to genealogy? Dan again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Koehl (talk • contribs) 22:31, 6 December 2002 (UTC)

message: Asking other neutral editors to comment on which of these two images, in the sizes shown in this article, is the clearest and best to portray Birger. Please refer to number 1 or number 2. My question has the condition that one does not enlarge the photo by clicking on it (as I think most readers won't) but views it as is (as I think most readers will).

replies: text: Lighting is a bit flat in the image to the right, but it shows much finer detail. The image on the left (uploaded by Woodzing) is rather noisy, which was increased by enhancing contrast. See also :commons:Category:Birger jarl. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:19, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Forssén died 1961, I found out. So I uploaded the image in Nationalencyklopedin to :File:Birger jarl (Forssén).jpg. Problem solved, I hope. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 22:12, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Portrait bust 

message: The following sentence is extremely difficult to parse.
"While Birger's direct involvement in the foundation of the city remains speculative, it probably was no accident it was founded on the location at this time, as there were alternative passages into Mälaren during the preceding Viking Era; as Crusades, a kind of Viking raids in a Christian disguise, had proven increasingly unsuccessful; and as taking control over the location, traditionally where men supposedly gathered before the ledung, meant old offensive military traditions could be replaced by more "modern" commercial efforts directed towards Lübeck."
I think it ought to be reformulated without the semicolons and with special attention to some of the prepositions, which are not exactly native English. 
As it stands, I can not really understand its meaning.
