About Eric II of Denmark
Eric II the Memorable was king of Denmark between 1134 and 1137. He was an illegitimate son of Eric I of Denmark, who ruled the kingdom from 1095 to 1103. Eric the Memorable rebelled against his uncle Niels, King of Denmark, and was declared king in 1134. He punished his adversaries severely, and rewarded his supporters handsomely. He was killed by a subject in 1137 and was promptly succeeded as king by his nephew Eric III of Denmark.
