Kind of ironic that #StErik (he on Stockholm's city coat of arms), probably never set foot in #Stockholm.

From all accounts, he was king of #Westrogothia and died a martyr's death in #Uppsala. Which is apparently almost the only thing we know for sure about him: that he was beheaded and still rests in a coffin in #Uppsalacathedral.

From the isotope studies of the remains, we can also confirm that he mostly stayed in #Westrogothia
