Eric XIV, the eldest son and successor of Gustave Wasa, played a significant role in Swedish history as the founder of the Swedish Dynasty. Upon ascending to the throne in 1560, Eric commissioned a magnificent new crown for his coronation. However, his reign was marred by misfortune, leading to his deposition in 1569 and his eventual poisoning by his own brothers in 1577.

Despite the tumultuous events surrounding Eric XIV, the crown he commissioned continued to be used for the coronations of all Swedish monarchs that followed. It stands as a symbol of the enduring monarchy in Sweden and holds historical significance as a testament to the country's royal heritage.
