Revision as of 20:33, 17 July 2009

Sune Sik Sverkersson, (born c. 1154), in older historical accounts, was a Swedish prince. According to Olaus Petri, he would have been a younger son of King Sverker I of Sweden and father of Ingrid Ylva.

In surviving medieval documents, the only Sune Sik that can be found looks like he lived much later, which has caused some historians to view Olaus Petri's account of him as unreliable. That Sune Sik made a donation to Vreta Abbey as late as in 1297. He might have ordered a restauration of a chapel in which he eventually was interred, and later Cistercian tradition may then have turned him into a prince.

Sune Sik, as a son of King Sverker, is still counted by some reliable Swedish historians as a possible person of history.
