Björn was the father of Olof (II) Björnsson and Eric the Victorious, according to Hervarar saga. He was the grand-father of Styrbjörn Starke. According to Hervarar Saga he was the son of an Erik who fought Harald Fairhair who succeeded the brothers Björn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale. Erik Anundsson is the only Erik who fits.
When Björn died Olof and Eric were elected to be co-rulers of Sweden. Eric would however disinherit his nephew Styrbjörn. Adam of Bremen, however, only gives Emund Eriksson as the predecessor of Eric the Victorious. Since the Swedes seem to have had a system of co-rulership, it is probable that Emund Eriksson was a co-ruler of Björn's.

Björn (III) Eriksson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Björn (ruled 882-932[1]) was the father of Olof (II) Björnsson and Eric the Victorious, and he was the grandfather of Styrbjörn the Strong, according to the Hervarar saga and Harald Fairhair's saga. According to the two sagas, he was the son of an Erik who fought Harald Fairhair and who succeeded the brothers Björn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale:
King Önund had a son called Eric, and he succeeded to the throne at Upsala after his father. He was a rich King. In his days Harold the Fair-haired made himself King of Norway. He was the first to unite the whole of that country under his sway. Eric at Upsala had a son called Björn, who came to the throne after his father and ruled for a long time. The sons of Björn, Eric the Victorious, and Olaf succeeded to the kingdom after their father. Olaf was the father of Styrbjörn the Strong.(Hervarar saga)[2]
The latter saga relates that he ruled for 50 years:
There were disturbances also up in Gautland as long as King Eirik Eymundson lived; but he died when King Harald Harfager had been ten years king of all Norway. After Eirik, his son Bjorn was king of Svithjod for fifty years. He was father of Eirik the Victorious, and of Olaf the father of Styrbjorn. (Harald Fairhair's saga)[3]
In Olaf the Holy's saga, Snorri Sturluson quotes Thorgny Lawspeaker on king Björn:
My father, again, was a long time with King Bjorn, and was well acquainted with his ways and manners. In Bjorn's lifetime his kingdom stood in great power, and no kind of want was felt, and he was gay and sociable with his friends. (Saga of Olaf Haraldsson)[4]
When Björn died, Olof and Eric were elected to be co-rulers of Sweden. However, Eric would disinherit his nephew Styrbjörn.
Adam of Bremen, however, only gives Emund Eriksson as the predecessor of Eric the Victorious. Since the Swedes seem to have had a system of co-rulership (Diarchy), it is probable that Emund Eriksson was a co-ruler of Björn's.

Erik III Victorious. Born around 945th [3]
Death Around 995th [3]
Björn (ruled 882-932[1]) was the father of Olof (II) Björnsson and Eric the Victorious, and he was the grandfather of Styrbjörn the Strong, according to the Hervarar saga and Harald Fairhair's saga. According to the two sagas, he was the son of an Erik who fought Harald Fairhair and who succeeded the brothers Björn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale:
King Önund had a son called Eric, and he succeeded to the throne at Upsala after his father. He was a rich King. In his days Harold the Fair-haired made himself King of Norway. He was the first to unite the whole of that country under his sway. Eric at Upsala had a son called Björn, who came to the throne after his father and ruled for a long time. The sons of Björn, Eric the Victorious, and Olaf succeeded to the kingdom after their father. Olaf was the father of Styrbjörn the Strong.(Hervarar saga)[2]
The latter saga relates that he ruled for 50 years:
There were disturbances also up in Gautland as long as King Eirik Eymundson lived; but he died when King Harald Harfager had been ten years king of all Norway. After Eirik, his son Bjorn was king of Svithjod for fifty years. He was father of Eirik the Victorious, and of Olaf the father of Styrbjorn. (Harald Fairhair's saga)[3]
In Olaf the Holy's saga, Snorri Sturluson quotes Thorgny Lawspeaker on king Björn:
My father, again, was a long time with King Bjorn, and was well acquainted with his ways and manners. In Bjorn's lifetime his kingdom stood in great power, and no kind of want was felt, and he was gay and sociable with his friends. (Saga of Olaf Haraldsson)[4]
When Björn died, Olof and Eric were elected to be co-rulers of Sweden. However, Eric would disinherit his nephew Styrbjörn.
Adam of Bremen, however, only gives Emund Eriksson as the predecessor of Eric the Victorious. Since the Swedes seem to have had a system of co-rulership (Diarchy), it is probable that Emund Eriksson was a co-ruler of Björn's
Ben notes: The sources I've been using are conflicted about the legendary father of Erik the Victorious (legendary means that there are no primary sources showing proof of existence, only perhaps an oral or some other form of tradition by which the genealogy is transmitted).
The first source says that the father of Erik was Emund, who apparently uses the writings of Adam of Bremen as a guide. From the Swedish-language Historiska Personer i Sverige och Norden page on Emund Eriksson:

According to Adam of Bremen, Emund Eriksson was in league with the Danish king Harald Bluetooth , who became a Christian and was baptized in 960. Emund belonged to the Scylding Royal Family.
Wikipedia disagrees. According to the Wikipedia page on Emund Eriksson:
Emund Eriksson (?- ca. 970), (English: Edmund), was a Swedish king of disputed historicity.
According to Adam of Bremen, Emund was allied with Harold Bluetooth.
Adam of Bremen only gives Eric the Victorious as successor to Emund, but he does not tell how they were related. He may very well have been the brother of Björn (III) Eriksson, who the Norse sagas name as the father of Eric the Victorious. This would have been in accordance with the Germanic system of co-rulership (Diarchy) in which two brothers were elected kings, and which was evidently used by the Swedes.
The third source is the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy, which I've been regarding as more authoritative, except perhaps in specific cases. This may be one of the cases, but I'm still hesitant to disregard their input:
ERIK . Three children:
i) EMUND Erikson .
Adam of Bremen records that 'Emund filius Herici' reigned in Sweden[17], the paragraph being undated but following the one which records the succession of Emperor Otto III in 983.
ii) BJÖRN Erikson . [Two] children:
(a) STYRBJÖRN [Björn] 'den Starke/the Strong' (-killed in battle [Fyrisvellir] near Uppsala [985]).
He was the son of King Björn according to Saxo Grammaticus[18]. At Jomsburg.
According to Saxo Grammaticus, he was robbed of his kingdom by Erik, son of his uncle Olof, and sought help from Harald I King of Denmark who put him in charge of the garrison at Wolin.
Saxo Grammaticus records that Styrbjörn was killed in battle while trying to regain his throne[19].
m as her first husband, TYRE Haraldsdatter, daughter of HARALD I 'Blåtand/Bluetooth' King of Denmark & his [first wife Gunhild ---] (-18 Sep [1000]).
(b) [GYRITHA of Sweden .
Gyritha and her alleged marriage is only referred to in Saxo Grammaticus, which says that King Styrbjörn granted King Harald his sister in marriage after seeking his help after being deposed[20].
m ([984/85]) as his [third] wife, HARALD I 'Blåtand/Bluetooth' King of Denmark, son of GORM 'den Gamle/the Old' King of Denmark & his wife Tyre 'Danebod' (before 935-Jomsborg 1 Dec [986/87], bur Roskilde Cathedral).]
iii) OLOF Erikson . One child:
(a) ERIK (-[994/95]).
According to Saxo Grammaticus[21], Erik was the son of Olof and deposed his cousin Styrbjörn in [984/85], succeeding as ERIK 'Segersäll/the Victorious' King of Sweden.
What this seems to indicate is a confusion over whether Olof was brother or father.
Wikipedia's page on Bjorn III Eriksson is fairly detailed, meanwhile:
Björn (ruled 882-932[1]) was the father of Olof (II) Björnsson and Eric the Victorious, and he was the grandfather of Styrbjörn the Strong, according to the Hervarar saga and Harald Fairhair's saga. According to the two sagas, he was the son of an Erik who fought Harald Fairhair and who succeeded the brothers Björn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale:
King Önund had a son called Eric, and he succeeded to the throne at Upsala after his father. He was a rich King. In his days Harold the Fair-haired made himself King of Norway. He was the first to unite the whole of that country under his sway. Eric at Upsala had a son called Björn, who came to the throne after his father and ruled for a long time. The sons of Björn, Eric the Victorious, and Olaf succeeded to the kingdom after their father. Olaf was the father of Styrbjörn the Strong.(Hervarar saga)[2]
The latter saga relates that he ruled for 50 years:
There were disturbances also up in Gautland as long as King Eirik Eymundson lived; but he died when King Harald Harfager had been ten years king of all Norway. After Eirik, his son Bjorn was king of Svithjod for fifty years. He was father of Eirik the Victorious, and of Olaf the father of Styrbjorn. (Harald Fairhair's saga)[3]
In Olaf the Holy's saga, Snorri Sturluson quotes Thorgny Lawspeaker on king Björn:
My father, again, was a long time with King Bjorn, and was well acquainted with his ways and manners. In Bjorn's lifetime his kingdom stood in great power, and no kind of want was felt, and he was gay and sociable with his friends. (Saga of Olaf Haraldsson)[4]
When Björn died, Olof and Eric were elected to be co-rulers of Sweden. However, Eric would disinherit his nephew Styrbjörn.
Adam of Bremen, however, only gives Emund Eriksson as the predecessor of Eric the Victorious. Since the Swedes seem to have had a system of co-rulership (Diarchy), it is probable that Emund Eriksson was a co-ruler of Björn's.

The part that doesn't make sense is that Eric's birth date would be about 13 years after his father's death date, according to Wikipedia. If the dates are off, but the details are correct, then Bjorn's reign would end in 970 (38 years after what Wikipedia says). Bjorn and Olof would be co-rulers until 975, at Olof's death (apparently poisoned).
Best option seemed to simply leave the position as 'Unknown' for now. We know that Erik's grandfather was named Erik. At least on that all sources agree.
Enligt Adam av Bremen var Emund Eriksson i förbund med den danske kungen Harald Blåtand, som blev kristen och döptes 960.
Biografi
Sveakung. Born about 867 in Birka, Björkö-Arholma (AB). Died about 950 in Birka, Björkö-Arholma (AB). missionärer till svearna. (Källa: Bra Böcker) Torgny lagman tog till orda och sade: Min fader Torgny var med kung Björn en lång tid och kände väl hans seder, och riket stod i Björns dagar i mycken styrka och makt och led aldrig minskning; dock var han vänlig mot sina män. (Källa: Den svenska historien sid 80, Alf Henriksson) Staden Birka var ett av vikingavärldens mest betydande handelscentra, men vi vet mindre om Birka än om de motsvarande handelscentra Hedeby i Danmark och Kaupang i Norge. Birka låg på Björkö i Mälaren, cirka tre mil väster om Stockholm. På grund av bland annat landhöjningen och sannolikt en stort fientligt anfall upphörde Birka som handelsstad några årtionden före år 1000. (Källa: Vikingen, Nordbok 1975) När kung Björn sände ett brev till kejsaren, då Ansgar återvände från sitt första besök i Birka, så var det 'skrivet på svearnas speciella sätt', som Rimbert uttrycker det. Men för de fåkunniga var runorna ett mysterium som gränsade till trolldom, och under många århundraden inristades de på vapen och andra föremål som besvärjelser. (Källa: Svitjod sid 118, Mats G. Larsson) I den svenska kungakrönikan som finns bifogad till den isländska Hervararsagan nämns Björn och Anund, söner till sveakungen Erik Björnsson. Efter faderns död delade bröderna sveariket mellan sig, så att Björn satte sig vid Högen (at Haugi), en av de mäktiga gravhögarna i Hovgården på Adelsö, medan Anund, som i krönikan kallas Anund upsale, började residera i Gamla Uppsala. Björn var den kung som Ansgar mötte vid sitt första besök i Sverige, och Anund var den av svearna fördrivne kungen. (Källa: Tio uppsatser om Gamla Uppsala, Wladyslaw Duczko, 2000)
