Bengt Snivil (also known as Bengt Snivel) was a Swedish magnate in the mid-12th century from the House of Bjälbo.
Some more or less romantic later literature has given him the title of jarl, although no proper historical source attests to such. Romantic genealogies assign a lady Sigrid Lakman as his wife, though without historical source.
Bengt Snivil was the "Bengt" or "Benedict" who was son of riksjarl Folke the Fat and Ingegerd Knutsdotter of Denmark, daughter of king Canute IV of Denmark.[1]
Children
Bengt Snivil had multiple children, one of which became the ancestor of important magnates and the future Swedish royal family:
- Riksjarl Birger Brosa[1]
- Magnus Minnesköld, father of Birger Jarl[1]
- Karl the Deaf, father of father of jarl Ulf Fase
