The Battle of Gestilren was fought between the exiled King of Sweden Sverker and the ruling King Eric. Sverker had been beaten in the previous Battle of Lena, but had returned with new forces, although the exact number of knights are unknown, just like the exact location where the battle took place. Almost whole army of Sverker was destroyed and he was killed during that battle. This gave the Folkung dynasty autonomy against the centralising forces of Catholic monarchy and made them rulers of the country for next 37 years.
