Who was Eric of Pomerania?
Eric of Pomerania KG was King Eric III of Norway, King Eric VII of Denmark, and King Eric of Sweden. He was the first King of the Nordic Kalmar Union, succeeding his adoptive mother Margaret I of Denmark.
Referring to Eric of Pomerania as King Eric XIII of Sweden is a later invention, counting backwards from Eric XIV, who adopted his numeral according to a fictitious history of Sweden. Going back into prehistory, it is not known how many Swedish monarchs were named Eric before this one, so it would be speculative to try to affix a mathematically accurate one here.
