Not much is known about this King. After being elected King he travelled around the different counties, as all kings were obliged to do. When he came to Västergötland, he didn't bother to take a hostage, which the law requiered. This upset the people of Västergötland and they killed him.
His parents are unknown, even though it has been mentioned that he would be Inge the older's son Ragvald.
This was a very unstable period. Abt 1125, however, the Danish Prince Magnus Nilsson seems to have been elected King.
