Biography

Ulfhild Sunesdotter was the daughter of Suno Syk (also Simon Sik and Suno Sik). Suno is considered to have been a Swedish nobleman or prince in the 12th century, son of King Sverker the Elder.

Sune Sik's tomb monument in Vreta monastery church with stone from the 16th century. Sune Sik, also Simon Sik and Suno Syk (actually an older Suno Syk), is considered to have been a Swedish nobleman or prince in the 12th century, son of King Sverker the Elder. [1] It is unknown if the mother was one of Sverker's two queens or another woman.

The information that he must have been the son of Sverker d.ä. comes from a medieval genealogy that is only preserved in transcript by Olaus Petri and Johannes Bureus. Olaus Petri continues the genealogy by claiming that Suno Syk must have been the father of Ingrid Ylva, a task that is missing from Bureus.

Suno Syk as the king's son has been disputed until our time. Some authors have questioned the information in their works, [2] and some experts have also strongly questioned his existence, claiming that the tradition of him arose around another Sune Sik who appears in the sources as a donor to Vreta monastery in the late 13th century. [3]

During the 16th century, a tombstone was erected in Vreta monastery church over a Sune Sik by Rasmus Ludvigsson. The stone has a Latin inscription that Markus Lindberg at Östergötland County Museum believes must date from the Middle Ages and be a copy of an older stone from around 1300. The diploma that mentions the donor Sune Sik was added at this time, which is why Lindberg believes that the contemporary original stone is not reasonable may have been made in confusion by the two persons of the same name and thus may not have been made for the younger Sune Sik (since he in all probability then still lived). Lindberg consequently believes, in line with the findings of Nils Ahnlund, that there are strong reasons for the later missing 14th century source (early reported by Johannes Bureus) and the original stone, which Rasmus Ludvigsson used as a basis for his monument,

According to the 18th century theologian and academic Magnus Boræn, Sune's nephews Alf and Burislev Johansson were buried next to his dust in Vreta. According to the same Boræn, Sune was Duke of Östergötland, which according to Adolf Schück does not need to be interpreted as becoming an earl of Sweden, but was such a territorial earl that during the early Middle Ages in Sweden more generally equated with the Latin title dux.
