Eric X[1] (Swedish: Erik Knutsson; Old Norse: Eiríkr Knútsson; c. 1180 – 10 April 1216) was King of Sweden between 1208 and 1216. Also known as Eric the Survivor (Swedish: Erik som överlevde), he was, at his accession to the throne, the only remaining son of King Canute I of Sweden and his queen. The name of his mother is not known, but may have been Cecilia.
^Referring to Erik Knutsson as King Eric X 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, and none of them used numerals. It would be speculative to try to affix a mathematically accurate one to this king.
