About Erik Björnsson, King of the Swedes
About saga-kings
At the time when all this happened the oral tradition dominated among people as the mayority was non litterate. When they gathered by a bonfire, the elders told younger people about relatives about where and how they lived, their deeds their wives, children, who they married aso,. There was not common at all with written documents according anything and only a few could read and write. When researchers claim that nothing is true because there is no written documents they are wrong. So if we compare viking stories with biblical documents one must understand the political and religious purpose and background to control the masses and that many documents like Sturlason were written a long time after the events. I think Sturlasons dokuments are as thrustworty as the Bible and Toran,for instance that a roman soldier was the real father of Jesus according to written a holy document from that time.
When we say saga it is not a fairytale but what we mean in Swedish today by saying 'utsaga'= outsaying in English.

Erik Björnsson, Munsöätten
- Erik Björnsson was one of the sons of Björn 'Ironside' Ragnarson and a semi-legendary king of Sweden of the House of Munsö, who would have lived in the early 9th century.
- One of the few surviving Scandinavian sources that deal with Swedish kings from this time is Hervarar saga. It says: “The sons of Björn Ironside were Eric and Refil. The latter was a warrior-prince and sea-king. *
- Sago Kings is a designation given to kings who are mainly mentioned in works created long after that they reigned, in contrast to kings with more contemporary sources. In some cases these stories also contain some element of myths, but it's a big misinterpretation to call them fictional, mythological or to name them fairy-tale kings. Users who puts such mentioned epithets , just demonstrates their own deficiency when it comes to historical knowledge. This king should just have the suffix "Svea king", or Sveakung, nothing else.
- Erik Refilsson was a semi-legendary king of Sweden of the House of Munsö, who would have lived in the early 9th century. One of the few surviving Scandinavian sources that deal with Swedish kings from this time is Hervarar saga. It says:
- Eric the son of Refil succeeded to the Kingdom. He was a great warrior and a very powerful King. The sons of Eric Björnsson were Önund of Upsala and King Björn. Then the Swedish Realm again came to be divided between brothers.” -
