3. family
He married Kristina Stigsdotter Hvide, a Danish aristocrat, and they had a son, Sverker II.
[1] Also called Karl Sverkersson ( Swedish : Karl Sverkersson).[2] It is said that the reason why he was called ‘Karl VII’ was because there were six legendary kings with the name ‘Karl’. # However, what has been proven so far is that this person was the first person in Sweden to use the royal title 'Karl', and that the number 7 was given to this person only in the 17th century. For reference, the king who first gave a number to the name 'Karl' was Karl IX of the Persian Dynasty in the 16th century . After Karl IX decided that his number was '9', the calculation was done backwards and he was given the number 7. .
