Steinkel was a Swedish king who died around 1066, at the same time as the two Haralds fell (Heimskringla, 13. Quarrels Of King Magnus And King Inge). He was succeeded first by Hakon, and then by his son King Inge, who was described as good, powerful, strong, and stout (Heimskringla, 13. Quarrels Of King Magnus And King Inge). The Heimskringla uses Steinkel primarily as a chronological marker, anchoring Swedish succession to the better-documented Norwegian timeline.
