The result of the move request was: Moved to Inter-Nordic conflict of 1302–1319  — Amakuru (talk) 13:04, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish Brother's Feud → ? – The current title is perhaps a partial translation of Den andra brödrastriden (no source is given), but as far as I know, the conflict doesn't have an established name. Since Wikipedia's scope is global and it covers all time periods, this short title seems somewhat weird. Also, it should be Swedish brothers' feud, with plural brothers and without capitalization, since it is not really a proper name but a descriptive phrase. I suggest two alternatives, between which I am quite undecided:

The latter title would make the focus of the article a bit wider. This would help avoid duplicating content, since the strife between Magnussons is already covered in their biographies. However, going into detail about the power-play between different kingdoms (See Bagge's article) might be a distraction in the biographies, but could be discussed here. Sundberg 2010 calls this Kampen mellan Birger och hans bröder 1304–1310. Sundberg's time limits are explained by his focus on armed conflict. However, I think Rosén's and Bagge's temporal limits make more sense, since the political conflict already starts when Birger becomes of age 1302, and ends in 1319 to his deposition. — Jähmefyysikko (talk) 07:10, 15 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. FOARP (talk) 14:43, 25 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Raladic (talk) 02:52, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I took a look at Polity Consolidation and Military Transformation in Medieval Scandinavia: A European Perspective, c.1035–​1320 (2023) and it mentions this conflict under the "Fraternal Wars" (pp. 280–282). It also says: "The conflict between the brothers lasted for most of Birger’s reign, and saw extensive involvement from Denmark and Norway too" (p. 282). Perhaps it would be appropriate to have an article that covers all of these conflicts e.g. sv:Brödrastriden? At the moment, I would lean towards the first option.

    Yes, such article would be useful for navigational purposes. One could also mention Magnus Eriksson's troubles with his son Erik, since he made preparations to prevent his sons of fighting each other, but did not anticipate an uprising against himself.

Name

[edit]

This name makes me vomit (no hate). "the conflict doesn't have an established name", then why would we give it a name used by one source?

Also Wikipedia:Article titles, titles should be Recognizable, Natural, precise, concise and consistant. Anyone feel free to list out which of these criteria this name fits, because i can't see any.

I'm also not a fan of the title. There are hardly any sources that refer to the "Inter-Nordic conflict" and it is not recognizable. My previous suggestion was to have an article that covers the "fraternal wars" more broadly. Mellk (talk) 07:35, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah that's not a bad idea, but until the content has expanded/changed, i think the most proper name would be Conflict between Birger Magnusson and his brothers or Conflict between Birger Magnusson and Eric and Valdemar Magnusson (latter one may be too long). Perhaps, Conflict between Magnus Ladulås' sons? Tinkaer1991 (talk) 16:50, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to see if any expansion is possible now. I need to do some reading again. IMO it would be easier to expand and move once than moving twice (likely with RM discussion). Mellk (talk) 04:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added a background section for now. Perhaps this can be expanded so that the scope can be widened, which would allow us to request another move. @Jähmefyysikko: Do you think it is best if we widen the scope of this article? Mellk (talk) 10:59, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is the plan still to collect the topics in sv:Brödrastriden in a single article? If that's the case, then here are some thoughts.
The impression I get from the Swedish article is that it serves as an informal disambiguation page. In English, we don't really have such term to disambiguate, so in that sense it is not needed. Instead, första brödrastriden and andra brödrastriden could be collected in House of Bjälbo#Rise to royalty which needs some expansion. But that section should be written very concisely to provide links to other articles about those conflicts in detail (these are perhaps the biographies). So no, I don't think this article should be made into such list.
The conflict between Birger Magnusson and his brothers is already detailed in their biographies. What I had in mind here when I suggested the move was to provide details also on what happened in Norway and Denmark, in the spirit of Sverre Bagge's article, since they were also active in the conflict. There is nevertheless a risk of too much redundancy between those biographies and this article. I've rewritten the lead partially to highlight some items that I felt were missing. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 17:05, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One phase that is currently missing from here, but seems to be included due to the time span, is the fall of Torkel Knutsson, the most powerful Swedish nobleman of the previous generation, and at least informally regent during Birger's minority. The conflict is also linked to that between Jacob Nielsen, Count of Halland and the Danish crown, so I think there is room to expand the article further.
