The House of Stenkil was a dynasty on the Swedish throne from c. 1060 to c. 1125.[1] Stenkil probably originated from Västergötland.[2]
Line (of magnates and earls) before Stenkil, according to the Norse sagas:
- Skagul Toste (took Danegeld in England and was the father of Sigrid the Haughty)
- Ulf Tostesson, the son of Skagul Toste
- Ragnvald Ulfsson, the son of Ulf Tostesson, and exiled to Staraja Ladoga by Olof Skötkonung
On the throne of Sweden or Västergötland:
- 1060–1066 : Stenkil[2]
- 1067–1070 : Halsten Stenkilsson (Halsten), son of Stenkil
- 1079–1084 : Inge the Elder (Inge den äldre), son of Stenkil
- 1084–1087 : Blot-Sweyn (Blot-Sven), possibly brother-in-law of Inge I the Elder
- 1087–1110 : Inge the Elder (Inge den äldre), 2nd time, restored
- 1110–1118 : Philip (Filip Halstensson), no children
- 1110–1125 : Inge the Younger (Inge den yngre), no children
Cognatic offshoots:
- c. 1125 – c 1130 Magnus I of Gothenland (the regnal list published by the royal court of Sweden includes him as a member of Stenkil dynasty), was son of Inge the Elder's daughter
- c. 1150 – 1160 Eric IX of Sweden who was married with Christina, according to Norse legends daughter's daughter of Inge the Elder; this couple started the dynasty of Eric
(* c. 1155 – 1167 Charles VII of Sweden (his mother was the widow of Inge the Younger) who married Kirsten Stigsdatter, according to Norse legends daughter's daughter's daughter of Inge the Elder; this couple continued the in c 1130 ascended dynasty of Sverker)
- 1160–61 Magnus (II) of Sweden (the regnal list published by the royal court of Sweden includes him as a member of Stenkil dynasty; some tend to call him as the "last" monarch of the House of Stenkil which however is a genealogically debatable concept), was the son of a daughter of Inge the Elder's son Ragvald.
