Erik, having disposed of Sigrid, took for a second wife Oda, the daughter of Jarl 
Hakan of Norway. Later, we are told, Erik married Gunnhild, a daughter of Mieszko of 
Poland, and a sister to Boleslav I, Poland's first king. Most historians express som 
uncertainty about Erik's other wives, but Lagerkvist assures us that there is no doubt 
about Erik's marriage to Gunnhild.

According to the old tales, Erik fell ill and died precisely ten years after the battle of 
Syrisvall [985]. He was buried in a mound at Uppsala and his son Olof Skotkonung 
succeeded to the throne. His widow Gunnhild was given in marriage to this old rival, 
Sven Forkbeard; and Sven returned from exile and regained the Danish throne. [Royal 
Families of Medieval Scandinavia, Flanders, & Kiev]
