Boleslaw (or Boleslaus; Swedish: Burislev Sverkersson) was the son of Sverker the Elder, King of Sweden and his second wife Richeza of Poland, and was the younger brother of King Charles and Earl John Sverkerson. The boy was named in honor of his maternal grandfather Duke Boleslaw III of Poland. For several years starting 1167, young Burislev was a rival claimant to the Swedish throne with Canute Ericson, the then head of the House of Eric. Boleslaus is believed either to have been murdered by King Canute's men, or to have fled to Poland sometime before 1173. He was mentioned in at least one letter sent by the Pope to a Swedish king.
Swedish historian Adolf Schück has proposed that it was his nephew, Boleslaw Johansson (buried at Vreta Abbey) who was king, not Boleslaw Sverkersson.
