Emund the Old or Edmund (Swedish: Emund den gamle; Old Swedish: Æmunðær gamlæ, Æmunðær gammal, Æmunðær slemæ; died c. 1060) was King of Sweden from c. 1050 to c. 1060.[1] His short reign was characterised by disputes with the Archbishopric of Bremen over church policies, and a historically debated delimitation of the Swedish-Danish border.
