'''Sune Sik''', (born c. 1154), was allegedly a Swedish prince. According to [[Olaus Petri]], he would have been a younger son of King [[Sverker I of Sweden]] and father of [[Ingrid Ylva]].
In surviving contemporary documents one ''Sune Sik'' can be found who lived much later. That Sune Sik made a donation to [[Vreta Abbey]] as late as in 1297.<ref>{{cite book|author=Harrison, Dick|title=Jarlens sekel|year=2002|pages=248|ISBN=91-7324-999-8|quote=... en viss Sune Sik när denne år 1297 stadfäste en donation till Vreta kloster.}}</ref> He might have ordered a restoration of a chapel in which he eventually was interred, and later Cistercian tradition may then have turned him into a prince.<ref name=beckman>{{cite journal|url=http://fornvannen.se/pdf/1920talet/1921_022.pdf|author=Natanael Beckman|title=Kungagravar och medeltidshistoria.|journal=Fornvännen|year=1921|issue=16|pages=46|accessdate=2009-07-17|quote=Jag har nämnt ovan, att cisterciensernas tradition tilldelat Sverker en son, Sune Sik, som icke rimligtvis kan vara historisk i denna egenskap.

Sune Sik, as a son of King Sverker, is counted by other Swedish historians as a person of history and the man buried at Vreta (see photo).<ref>Lars O.
