Magnus IV of Sweden

Magnus IV Of Sweden

Magnus Eriksson (spring 1316 – 1 December 1374) as Magnus IV was king of Sweden (1319–1364), including Finland, as Magnus VII King of Norway (1319–1343), including Iceland and Greenland, and also ruled Scania (1332–1360). By adversaries he has also been called Magnus Smek (English equivalent: Magnus the Caresser). Referring to Magnus Eriksson as Magnus II is inaccurate. The Swedish Royal Court officially lists three Swedish kings before him by the name.
