Magnus Broka
 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies. (June 2025) |
Magnus Broka (of the House of Bjälbo), was the son of the Swedish Jarl Knut Birgersson (died January 1208), and thus the grandson of Jarl Birger Brosa. Who he was married to is unclear, possibly to Sigrid Knutsdotter (according to Dick Harrison, who however considers it more likely that Sigrid was his mother). One source states that his wife was a daughter of king Erik Knutsson. In any case, he had a son named Knut Magnusson, who, according to the Norwegian Hákonarsaga, was a pretender to the Swedish throne after Erik Eriksson's death in 1250.
