Karl Magnusson Eka Family, by the Swedish Biographical Dictionary

Chief Justice, Knight, Council of Ministers,

Karl Magnusson, the previous half-brother, was still living Sept. 21. 1467, was June 25, 1473. Parents: the knight Magnus Trottesson and Märta Magnusdotter (Kase). Mentioned June 29, 1421, was governor of Vaksala (Upps.) June 17, 1440 and still Nov. 28, 1440. 1457; knight apparently at the coronation of King Kristof Sept. 14. 1441; was governor 7 Oct. 1449; was the chief white man at Kastelholm March 18, 1453 and July 21, 1463.

G. m. Birgitta Arentsdotter (Pinnow), who was still living July 9, 1489, daughter of the gunner Arent Pinnow and Elin Andersdotter (2 tips from above). .

K. wrote himself in 1447 and still in 1453 to his wife's farm Finsta but bought the latter year Eka, which his brother Gregers previously owned, and then wrote to this farm.

In Karl Knutsson's siege of Stockholm Castle in 1436, according to Ericus Olai, 300 were attended by Archbishop Olof's men under the command of K. During the following period he was often found at council meetings and men's days. His political attitude has probably been influenced by his family relations with the family Oxenstierna - the brothers Bengt and Nils Jönssonwere cousins ​​to his mother. At the settlement Oct. 10. In 1441 between Karl Knutsson and Krister Nilsson (Vaasa), Bengt Jönsson's father-in-law, K. was one of Kristers six lifters and thus clearly stands out as Karl Knutsson's opponent. However, after his ascension, K. was used in his service. In the summer of 1449 he participated in the unfortunate expedition to the King to Gotland under Magnus Grensmanagement. The same year he was present at the coronation in Trondheim. In 1453 he was called the chief white man at Kastelholm and Åland. But when Karl Knutsson was expelled from the empire in 1457 by Jöns Bengtsson's rebellion, K. is again found among his opponents, and he was also one of the six gentlemen who in the so-called King's other defense wrote to Danzig to be held accountable. During Kristian I's time, K. appears in several letters as a member of the Council aristocracy. In the summer of 1463, he followed the king on his journey to Finland and was then (July 21) again called the chief white man at Kastelholm. This castle was 16 Oct. s. å. granted to Krister Bengtsson (Oxenstierna), who on this day had to make a solemn declaration to the king to keep it - the oxenstieren group stood after the imprisonment of the archbishop, Jöns Bengtsson, in tense relationship with Kristian. Since K. only a few months earlier had been the chief white man at Kastelholm, the information about the granting of the castle to Krister is somewhat surprising, and its details are unknown. In the above statement, however, K. appears as one of Krister's pledges, which is another sign that he was close to the ox-bull group. However, when Jöns Bengtsson in the autumn of 1466 had to relinquish the presidency of Erik Axelsson (Tott), supported by the Council majority, K. stood on the latter's side to judge by the conciliation between the two parties; his son which is another sign that he was close to the ox-bull group. However, when Jöns Bengtsson in the autumn of 1466 had to relinquish the presidency of Erik Axelsson (Tott), supported by the Council majority, K. stood on the latter's side to judge by the conciliation between the two parties; his son which is another sign that he was close to the ox-bull group. However, when Jöns Bengtsson in the autumn of 1466 had to relinquish the presidency of Erik Axelsson (Tott), supported by the Council majority, K. stood on the latter's side to judge by the conciliation between the two parties; his sonHowever, Trotte Karlsson (see below 4) was then one of Jöns' followers. With this K. appears to have had personal relations in the future; the same winter Jöns received by letter from K. some information about his enemies, Nils Sture's followers. When the development in 1467 led to Karl Knutsson's withdrawal, K. was one of the national councils that issued an invitation to him to return. Then K. disappears from the sources.
