Erik Johansson was a faithful adherent of the Sture s, a powerful and influential family in Sweden from the late 15th Century to the early 16th Century , and was notorious for his irritable and arbitrary temper. He assisted the Stures in fighting against the Danes , who controlled most of Sweden during the early 16th century. When the Danes, under Christian II , conquered Sweden and took the capital, Stockholm, in 1520 several members of the Sture party were executed in the Stockholm Bloodbath in October of that year, among whom was Erik Johansson.
