Charles VII (actually ''Charles I'')〔This was the first Swedish king by the name of Charles (Karl). ''Charles VII'' is a posthumous invention, counting backwards from Charles IX (1604–11) who adopted his numeral according to a fictitious history of Sweden. Six others before Charles Sverkersson are unknown to any sources before Johannes Magnus's 16th century book ''ラテン語:Historia de omnibus gothorum sueonumque regibus'', and are considered his invention. The first Swedish monarch of the name to actually use a regnal number was Charles II (later retrospectively renumbered VIII), on his queen's tombstone (1451) at Vadstena.〕〔Article (Karl ) in ''Nordisk familjebok''〕 or Carl, Swedish: ''Karl Sverkersson'', (c. 1130 – 12 April 1167), was ruler of Gothenland, and then King of Sweden from c. 1161 to 1167, when he was assassinated. He is the first historically known king of Sweden by the name of Karl, but use of ''Charles VII'' is widespread (see notes). == Life == The son of Sverker I, Charles had rivalled Eric IX of Sweden (whom later generations dubbed martyr and saint) and held some power in Gothenland ("jarlship") already during Eric's reign. It has been claimed that Eric's murder by minions of their rival Magnus Henricson was also backed by Charles. After the fall of Magnus, Charles received general recognition in Sweden as king. It was also during his reign that the Archbishop of Uppsala was established. In the spring of 1167, King Charles was killed on the island of Visingsö by supporters of Knut Eriksson, head of the rival Eric dynasty, who overtook the throne. Charles was buried in Alvastra monastery. Starting from Charles' death, his kinsmen (probably his half-brothers) ''Boleslaw'' and ''Kol'' together opposed Canute's kingship and were rival kings, recognized in some Gothenlander parts of Sweden; but last of them was killed in 1173, after which Canute's government got recognized overall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles VII of Sweden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
