Bengt Snivil
( - )
According to Wikipedia:
Bengt Snivil (also known as Bengt Snivel) from the House of Bjelbo was a Swedish magnate in mid-12th century.
Some more or less romantic later literature has given him the title of jarl, although no proper historical source attests to such. Romantic genealogies assign a lady Sigrid Lakman as his wife, though without historical source.[citation needed]
Arguably, Bengt Snivil was that Bengt or Benedict, who was son of riksjarl Folke the Fat and Ingegerd Knutsdotter of Denmark, daughter of king Canute IV of Denmark.[1]
Children[edit]
Children of Bengt Snivil, who thus became an ancestor of important magnates and the future royal family:
Riksjarl Birger Brosa[1]
Magnus Minnesköld, father of Birger Jarl[1]
Charles the Deaf, father of father of jarl Ulf FaseNotes[edit]
