On 9 June 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Sverker I of Sweden to Sverker the Elder. The result of the discussion was moved.

Children of Sverker

According to my reference (Lindström, 2006) Sverker had the following children:

Jon Jarl, dead c. 1153, "killed by peasants at the thing".
Karl Sverkersson, king 1161-1167, married to Kristina Stigsdotter of Danish House of Hvide (Hvideätten).
Three other children:
- Daughter, unknown name, married to Knut Magnusson of Denmark.
- Kol, dead c. 1172-73. (Possible son of Jon Jarl)
- Burislev, dead 1172-73. (Possible son of Jon Jarl)

This list is much different from the information in the article which is therefore either wrong or needs references. As my book is not citing any references itself, I feel reluctant to add the list above to the article.

– The territorial designation should be removed per WP:CONCISE and WP:NCROY. There is no risk of confusion since the name is unique to Swedish kings. The possible pairs of titles are then either Sverker I and Sverker II, or Sverker the Elder and Sverker the Younger. I am suggesting to use Elder/Younger forms here for aesthetic reasons, but I am also fine with Sverker I and Sverker II, as they seem to be equally common in literature.

Support. Would also create consistency with Inge the Elder and Inge the Younger. Andejons (talk) 06:36, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
