Erik Emundsson
Erik Emundsson is problematic and he seems to be assimilated with at least two kings. He is said to have been Erik Väderhatt who was a more or less mythic Swedish king. The cognomen Weatherhat refers to the fact that his ships always had good wind when he pillaged around the Baltic Sea. According to Gesta Danorum, Erik Väderhatt was one of Ragnar Lodbrok's sons (see Erik Weatherhat).
According to Nordisk familjebok, he spent many years fighting against Harald Fairhair for the control of Wermelandia and he was the grand-father of Eric the Victorious. He is consequently also identifed with Erik (V) Björnsson.
