He maintained the position during Knut's successor Sverker II until his death in 1202. Before 1170, Birger was married to Birgit Haraldsdotter, the daughter of the Norwegian king Harald Gille. She had formerly been married to the Danish pretender Magnus Henriksson, who had briefly ruled in Uppsala 1160-1161. Birger appears to have maintained peace in Sweden during the civil wars that ravaged Denmark and Norway. Many of the pretenders in these kingdoms sought refuge with Birger. Among them were the Birkebeiner chieftains Eystein Meyla and Sverre Sigurdsson who were Birgit's kinsmen. Birger owned estates in Östergötland, Nerike, Vermland and Södermanland.
