Norway's Magnus III (Magnus Barfot, or Barefoot) invades Ireland but is killed in battle. His illegitimate sons Eystein, 14, and Sigurd, 13, will reign jointly (and ably) as Eystein I Magnusson and Sigurd I Magnusson until Eystein's death in 1122 (see 1107). (Their illegitimate younger brother, a child of about 4, will reign as Olaf IV Magnusson but will die in 1115.)
Denmark's Erik I Ejegod (Evergood) dies July 10 at age 48 (approximate) after an 8-year reign and will be succeeded beginning next year by the 39-year-old Niels Magnusson, illegitimate son of Svend (Sweyn) Estridsen, who will reign until his murder in 1134.
