The Folkungs was known for contant revolts and dissatisfaction about the throne of Sweden. With other words, they wanted more power. The Folkungs made many revolts afterwards, some of them being the First Folkung Uprising (1247), the Second Folkung Uprising (1251) and the Third Folkung Uprising (1278-1280). Even though the Folkungs wasn´t often succesful in these uprisings, they were still a big threat to the Swedish kings.[4]
