King Erik XII (1339-1359) and Queen Beatrice of Bavaria

[Blog Real]

Eric XII (Swedish: Erik Magnusson; 1339 – 21 June 1359) was King of Sweden and lord of Scania in 1344–1359. He was a co-ruler with his father, King Magnus IV, from 1356 until his death in 1359.

Referring to Erik Magnusson as King Eric XII is a later invention, counting backwards from Eric XIV (1560–68). He and his brother Charles IX (1604–1611) adopted numerals according to a fictitious history of Sweden. The number of Swedish monarchs named Eric before Eric XIV (at least seven) is unknown, going back into prehistory. It would be speculative to try to affix a mathematically accurate one to this king.

The wedding between prince Erik Magnusson and princess Beatrice of Bavaria took place in Berlin in December 1355 or early Spring 1356. King Erik was believed to have died of the Black Death, and that Queen Beatrice also died of the plague, after having given birth to a stillborn son.
