He was the second son of Birger Jarl, and became a king after a rebellion against his brother Valdemar. He was succeeded by his ten-year-old son Birger Magnusson with Torkel Knutsson acting as his guardian.
Medieval Swedish kings did not use regnal numbers as part of their title.[2] In modern literature he may be referred to as either Magnus I[3] or Magnus III.[4][5]
