The
legendary kings of Sweden are the
Swedish kings who preceded
Eric the Victorious, according to sources such as the Norse
Sagas,
Beowulf,
Rimbert,
Adam of Bremen and
Saxo Grammaticus, but who are of disputed historicity because the sources are more or less unreliable, and sometimes contradictory. They are called
sagokonungar or
sagokungar in Swedish, meaning "
Saga kings" according to the etymology given by
SAOB.
