Karl Sverkersson or Karl VII (c. 1130 – 12 April 1167) was ruler of Götaland, and then King of Sweden from c. 1161 to 1167, when he was assassinated in a military attack by Knut Eriksson who succeeded him as king.
He is the first historically known king of Sweden by the name of Karl, but use of the ordinal VII is widespread.
