![This 16th-century grave monument at Vreta is thought to have been for King Magnus Henriksson (not Magnus Nielsen as the stone shows), though his actual burial probably took place elsewhere within the cloister compound, now in ruins.[3]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Magnus_I_of_Sweden_cenotaph_2009_Vreta_Link%C3%B6ping_%281%29.jpg/500px-Magnus_I_of_Sweden_cenotaph_2009_Vreta_Link%C3%B6ping_%281%29.jpg)
About this person
According to Saxo Grammaticus, he was involved in the assassination of an earlier king, Sverker the Elder, and the Legend of Saint Erik attributes the killing of his predecessor Erik Jedvardsson to him. He was recognized as king only in parts of Sweden before being defeated and killed by Karl Sverkersson at a battle in Örebro in 1161.
