The Swedish Brother's Feud (Swedish: Den andra brödrastriden) was a long-term conflict for the throne of Sweden, where Birger Magnusson was the central figure. Birger, after his father Magnus Ladulås died, became the regent of Sweden in the year of 1290. Birgers brothers, Valdemar and Duke Eric, was jealous of his rule over Sweden and merged in an attempt to depose Birger and gain more land of Sweden, Duke Eric and Valdemar with support from Norway, and Birger partly with support from Denmark. The conflict ended in an agreement in 1310, where Duke Eric gained control over western parts of Sweden.[1][2][3]
