July 10, 1103), also known as Erik Ejegod (literally: Eric "Evergood"), was King of
Denmark following his brother
Olaf I in 1095. He was a son of King
Sweyn Estridson, by his wife Gunhild Svendsdatter, and he married Boedil Thurgotsdatter.He was born in the town of
Slangerup in North

Canute IV of Denmark he was an eager supporter of the king but he was spared during the rebellion against Canute. He was by his side when he was slain in
Odense, but fled to
Sweden and lived in exile until the change of public feeling which made him elected as a king.
