He was the son of Valdemar II by his second wife, Berengária of Portugal, and brother to Eric IV and Christopher I. As Duke of Schleswig, Abel came into conflict with his brother, King Eric IV, whose murder in 1250 he was suspected of orchestrating. Upon taking an oath to clear himself of the allegations, he was elected king. After a short reign, he was killed during a military expedition in Frisia.
