Blot-Sweyn
Sweyn ((スウェーデン語:Blot-Sven), ''Sweyn the Sacrificer'') was a Swedish king c. 1080,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Blot-Sven )〕 who replaced his Christian brother-in-law Inge as King of Sweden, when Inge had refused to administer the blóts (pagan sacrifices) at the Temple at Uppsala. There is no mention of Sweyn in the regnal list of the ''Westrogothic law'', which suggests that his rule did not reach Västergötland.〔 According to Swedish historian Adolf Schück he was probably the same person as Håkan the Red and was called the ''Blót Swain'' (a ''swain'' who was willing to perform the blót) as an epithet rather than a personal name.

When Inge proclaimed that he would not abandon Christianity, the people pelted him with stones and chased him away.〔 This was the opportunity for Sweyn to assume power, and the account provided by ''Hervarar saga'' concerning his inauguration contains a rare description of the ancient Indo-European ritual of horse sacrifice:
