Holmger Knutsson
Holmger Knutsson (1210s – 1248) was a Swedish nobleman and a claimant to the Swedish throne during the reign of King Eric XI of Sweden.
His tomb cover showed two Coats of Arms: one is known to have been used by his father, the other is that of the House of Bjelbo.
It is could thus be considered likely that his mother came from that family, though it has also been claimed by Lagerqvist and others that she was Helena Pedersdatter Strange.
Holmger Knutsson was the eldest son of King Canute II of Sweden.
At his father's death in 1234, Holmger seems to have been on his way to be the new king, but he was side-tracked by "Jarl" Ulf Fase and earlier King Eric XI who had been exiled in Denmark since 1229.
Holmger's whereabouts after that are not known, but it has been speculated that he held Gästrikland north of Uppland for the next thirteen years.
Together with "folkungs," Holmger made an unsuccessful attempt for the crown in 1247.
The Battle of Sparrsätra took place in Uppland north of Enköping between forces led by Birger Jarl and rebels led by Holmger Knutsson.
According to "Erikskrönikan", after defeat in the battle Holmger fled to Gästrikland but was captured, quickly brought to trial and beheaded in 1248.
There seems to have been a widespread attempt to have Holmger established as a saint, but that was eventually suppressed.
The later manuscripts show that a special chapel was built to consecrate Holmger Knutsson in Björklinge, Norunda härad, in Uppland.
He lies buried next to his father in Skokloster (Sko Abbey) Church in Håbo, near Uppsala.
Holmger was married to Helena Philipsdotter.
They had no known children.
Canute II of Sweden
Canute II the Tall, was King of Sweden from 1229 until his death in 1234.
He was the father of Holmger Knutsson, a later pretender for the Swedish throne.
Both father and son were members of the folkung faction.
Helena Pedersdatter Strange
Helena Pedersdotter Strange (Danish: "Helene"; in Sweden also called Queen Elin) (ca. 1200–1255) was a Swedish Queen Consort, spouse of King Canute II of Sweden and of a Danish noble family later called Ulfeldt.
Her father was the Danish knight Peder Strangesson and her mother was Ingeborg Esbernsdatter, of the noble Hvide clan, a niece of Danish Archbishop Absalon.
She is believed to have married the Swedish regent Knut Långe in about 1225, though the exact year is not known.
Knut Långe was since 1222 the regent for the under-aged monarch, King Eric XI of Sweden, and took the throne himself in 1229, thereby making Helena, or Elin as she was often called in Sweden, Queen.
Queen Elin used the same seal as her husband on official documents, a curious fact which indicates that she may have exerted some political influence.
In 1234, her husband died, and the deposed King Eric returned.
Queen Dowager Elin remarried the nobleman Filip Lauresson.
In 1247, she witnessed her son from her first marriage rebel against the new monarch; he failed, and was executed in 1248.
Her second son was executed in 1251, and the same year, she became a widow.
She died in about the year of 1255.
