Ingeborg Birgersdotter
Ingeborg (30 June 1302), was a Duchess consort of Saxony, married to John I, Duke of Saxony. In contemporary German sources, Ingeborg is referred to as ''filia regis Suecie'' and ''filia Regis Sweonum'' ("daughter of the Swedish King"). In his 1876 commentary on the ''Annales Lubecenses'', Claes Annerstedt speculated that she was the daughter of King Erik Eriksson.Gillingstam, Hans"Utomnordiskt och nordiskt i de äldsta svenska dynastiska förbindelserna."''Personhistorisk tidskrift'' 77 (1981): 17. The Danish genealogist Sixten Otto Brenner made the same claim independently in 1961. Brenner noted that Ingeborg's seal featured three leopards, the symbol of the Danish royal family, which Erik had inherited from his mother. He further supported his claim by citing the papal dispensations required for Ingeborg's daughters, Helena and Elisabeth, to marry Count Günther IX of Schwarzburg-Blankenburg and Duke Valdemar of Schleswig, despite their fourth degree of affinity with their husb ...

Duchess Of Saxony
Duke is a male title either of a monarch ruling over a duchy, or of a member of royalty, or nobility. As rulers, dukes are ranked below emperors, kings, grand princes, grand dukes, and above sovereign princes. As royalty or nobility, they are ranked below grand dukes and above or below princes, depending on the country or specific title. The title comes from French ''duc'', itself from the Latin ''dux'', 'leader', a term used in republican Rome to refer to a military commander without an official rank (particularly one of Germanic or Celtic origin), and later coming to mean the leading military commander of a province. In most countries, the word ''duchess'' is the female equivalent. Following the reforms of the emperor Diocletian (which separated the civilian and military administrations of the Roman provinces), a ''dux'' became the military commander in each province. The title ''dux'', Hellenised to ''doux'', survived in the Eastern Roman Empire where it continued in seve ...

Ingeborg Eriksdotter Of Sweden
Ingeborg Eriksdotter (after 1214 – 17 June 1254) was a Swedish princess, daughter of King Erik Knutsson, eldest sibling of King Erik Eriksson, wife of Birger Jarl, and mother of Kings Valdemar and Magnus Ladulås. Biography Ingeborg was born the eldest daughter of King Erik Knutsson and his wife Rikissa of Denmark. Her parents married in 1210 and she was born at the earliest on 1214. She lived during her youth in exile in Denmark after her brother had been deposed by his guardian and regent in 1229. Sometime between 1235 and 1240 Ingeborg married Birger Magnusson of the House of Bjälbo, who supported her brother Erik Eriksson to reacquire the Swedish throne from the usurper Knut Långe. When Jarl Ulf Fase died in 1248, Birger was made the Jarl of Sweden. He had almost as much power as the king himself, partially because of his royal wife Ingeborg. Princess Ingeborg bore many children to her husband Birger. In 1250, her brother Erik died without an heir and her eldest ...

House Of Bjälbo
The House of Bjälbo, also known as the House of Folkung ( or ), was a Swedish family that produced several medieval bishops, jarls and kings of Sweden. It also provided three kings of Norway and one king of Denmark in the 14th century. Name and origin The house has been known as the "House of Folkung" since the 17th century, and this name is still commonly used in Swedish works of reference. The name "Folkung" does appear as early as in 12th century sources, but is then usually not applied to members of the family. In an effort to avoid confusion with the Folkunge Party some modern historians have argued that "House of Bjälbo" would be a better name because Birger Jarl lived there and it is the family's oldest known manor. Bjälbo is located in Östergötland, outside of Skänninge in the present-day municipality of Mjölby. In any case the members of this dynasty never used a name to refer to themselves since family names were not widely adopted in Sweden until the ...

Year Of Birth Uncertain
A year is a unit of time based on how long it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. In scientific use, the tropical year (approximately 365 solar days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45 seconds) and the sidereal year (about 20 minutes longer) are more exact. The modern calendar year, as reckoned according to the Gregorian calendar, approximates the tropical year by using a system of leap years. The term 'year' is also used to indicate other periods of roughly similar duration, such as the lunar year (a roughly 354-day cycle of twelve of the Moon's phasessee lunar calendar), as well as periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are g ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number, numeral, and glyph. It is the first and smallest positive integer of the infinite sequence of natural numbers. This fundamental property has led to its unique uses in other fields, ranging from science to sports, where it commonly denotes the first, leading, or top thing in a group. 1 is the unit of counting or measurement, a determiner for singular nouns, and a gender-neutral pronoun. Historically, the representation of 1 evolved from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian symbols to the modern Arabic numeral.

Affinity (Catholic Canon Law)
In Catholic canon law, affinity is an impediment to marriage of a couple due to the relationship which either party has as a result of a kinship relationship created by another marriage or as a result of extramarital intercourse. The relationships that give rise to the impediment have varied over time. Marriages and sexual relations between people in an affinity relationship are regarded as incest. Today, the relevant principle within the Catholic Church is that "affinity does not beget affinity"—i.e., there is no affinity between one spouse's relatives and the other spouse's relatives. Canon 109 of the '' Code of Canon Law'' of the Catholic Church provides that affinity is an impediment to the marriage of a couple, and is a relationship which "arises from a valid marriage, even if not consummated, and exists between a man and the blood relatives of the woman and between the woman and the blood relatives of the man." Also, affinity "is reckoned in such a way that the blood re ...
