Revision as of 17:12, 18 July 2009

Sune Sik, (born c. 1154), was a Swedish prince of doubtful historicity. According to Olaus Petri, he would have been a younger son of King Sverker I of Sweden and father of Ingrid Ylva.

In surviving contemporary documents, the only Sune Sik that can be found[citation needed] lived much later. That Sune Sik made a donation to Vreta Abbey as late as in 1297.[1] He might have ordered a restauration of a chapel in which he eventually was interred, and later Cistercian tradition may then have turned him into a prince.[2] This has caused some historians to view Olaus Petri's account of him as unreliable.[2]

Sune Sik, as a son of King Sverker, is still counted by some Swedish historians as a possible person of history.[3]
