Ulf Eskil Erik Sundberg (born 29 September 1956) is a Swedish economist, historian and author of books and magazine articles.[1][2]
Sundberg was born in Stockholm, graduated Studentexamen from Whitlockska in 1976, and earned a Master of Philosophy degree in 2014. He was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Åbo Academy in 2018, with a thesis addressing the loss of the Swedish Empire in the early 18th century. In his thesis, Sundberg is especially critical about the inadequate circumstances under which the country's many outlying fortifications were positioned and maintained, as well as about the planning, construction and remodeling of them by Erik Dahlberg under King Carl XI.[3]
Earlier, he has primarily treated the centuries of warfare in which Sweden and neighboring countries were involved. On a broader field, one of his more noted books is also about the families and relatives of Swedish royalty, including mistresses and extramarital offspring.[4]
