During the rule of his half-brother <a href="/wiki/Canute_IV_of_Denmark" title="Canute IV of Denmark">Canute IV</a> he was an eager supporter of the king, but he was spared during the rebellion against Canute. Eric remained at the royal farm instead of accompanying Canute to <a href="/wiki/St._Alban%27s_Church,_Odense" title="St. Alban's Church, Odense">St Albans priory</a> in Odense, where Canute was killed.

After a <a href="/wiki/Thing_(assembly)" title="Thing (assembly)"><i>ting</i></a> assembly concluded, he went about the neighborhood greeting men, women and children at their homesteads. He had a reputation as a loud man who liked parties and who led a rather dissolute private life. Though a presumed supporter of a strong centralized royal power, he seems to have behaved like a diplomat, avoiding any clash with the magnates.
