	In 975, the House of Munsö was caught up in a succession crisis that was caused by the assassination of [[Olof Björnsson]] after he finished a meal that was poisoned by the Scandinavian branch of the [[Hidden Ones]]. The Hidden Ones backed the ascendant Swedish king [[Eric the Victorious]], who was largely under the influence of his advisor [[Torgny the Lawspeaker]]. The disgruntled [[Styrbjörn the Strong]] on the other hand decided to overthrow his uncle by forging an alliance with [[Harald Bluetooth]], the [[Templars\|Templar]] king of [[Denmark]] and [[Norway]]. Furthermore, Styrbjörn's sister [[Gyrid of Sweden\|Gyrid Olafsdottir]] was already married to Harald and she was one of the participants in the effort to overthrow Eric. However, Eric emerged victorious in the struggle to secure the Swedish throne and crushed his rivals, including Styrbjörn and Gyrid.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]''</ref>		In 975, the House of Munsö was caught up in a succession crisis that was caused by the assassination of [[Olof Björnsson]] after he finished a meal that was poisoned by the Scandinavian branch of the [[Hidden Ones]].
