Eric of Pomerania[a] (Polish: Eryk Pomorski lit.'Eric the Pomeranian'; c. 1381/1382 – 24 September 1459), ruled over the Kalmar Union from 1396 until 1439. He was initially co-ruler with his great-aunt Margaret I until her death in 1412. Eric is known as Eric III as King of Norway (1389–1442), Eric VII as King of Denmark (1396–1439) and has been called Eric XIII[b] as King of Sweden (1396–1434, 1436–39). Eric was ultimately deposed from all three kingdoms of the union, but in 1449 he inherited one of the partitions of the Duchy of Pomerania and ruled it as duke until his death in 1459.[1] His epithet of Pomerania was a pejorative intended to insinuate that he did not belong in Scandinavia.[2]
