Haakon The RedThe Swedes rebelled against the Anund Grdske because he did not want to worship the Norse gods and Hkan the Red became king, 1070-1079, although he was a Christian. Hkan was probably an illegitimate son of Stenkil's. The cognomen red refers to his red hair. He is said to have been from Westrogothia and he ruled for thirteen years until he died from an illness. During the last years he ruled together with Stenkil's son Ingold I.
