Eric IV., V., and VI., Kings of
Denmark in the thirteenth century, reigned during a period fruitful in
revolutions and disorders. Powerful vassals aspired to
independence, and the clergy admitted no supremacy but that of the
pope. Eric IV. began to reign in 1241, and died by violence in
1250. Eric V. succeeded his father, Christopher I., in 1259, and
was assassinated in 1286. His son, Eric VI., began to reign in
1286, waged war against Norway, and died in 1319, leaving the throne to
his brother, Christopher II. (Universal Pronouncing Dictionary of
Biography and Mythology, Thomas, 1908)
