Personal Life
In 1205, Håkon married the Swedish noble-woman Kristina Nikolasdotter, whose maternal grandfather was Eric the Saint, and they had a son Knut (c. 1208 - 1261). After the death of Håkon, Kristina took their son Knut with her and returned to Västergötland, Sweden where she married Swedish nobleman, Eskil Magnusson. Håkon was buried in the old Bergen Cathedral which was demolished in 1531. A memorial today marks its site, in Bergenhus fortress.
