Christina Hvide
Christina Hvide (in Swedish: ''Kristina Stigsdotter'') (c. 1145 – c. 1200) was Queen of Sweden as the wife of King Charles VII and the mother of King Sverker II of Sweden. Life Christina ''Stigsdatter'' was the daughter of the Danish nobleman Stig Tokesen Hvitaledr (died 1150) of the Hvide family from Scania (then a Danish province) and the Danish Princess Margaret of Denmark who was the daughter of Canute Lavard and wife Ingeborg of Kiev. She was married to King Charles VII of Sweden in 1163 (or 1164) and was in Sweden known as Queen Kristina. In 1163, the Swedish jarl Guttorm greeted her in Scania and travelled with her to Sweden, but it is guessed that the ceremony took place after the inauguration of the new archbishop Stefan (archbishop of Uppsala) in 1164. When her husband was deposed in 1167, she fled to Denmark with her son. The date of her birth and death is not known, but suggested to be c. 1145 and c. 1200 respectively.

Queen Consort Of Sweden
This is a list of Sweden, Swedish Queen consort, queens consort and spouses of Swedish monarchs and regents. The list covers a large time span and the role of a consort has changed much over the centuries. The first Swedish consorts are spoken of in legends.

Brigida Haraldsdotter
Bridget Haraldsdotter, also Brigida () (c. 1131 – c. 1208) was Queen of Sweden as the spouse of King Magnus Henriksen. Brigida Haraldsdotter was the illegitimate daughter of King Harald IV of Norway. Her mother is unknown, but she was possibly Tora Guttormsdotter, long-term lover of her father and the mother of King Sigurd II of Norway. Her Irish first name was the same as that of her father's Irish mother, Brigida O'Brien (d. 1138). According to legend, she was first married to King Inge the Younger, but this is not considered possible; likely, her first marriage was to the Swedish jarl Karl Sunesson. She was married to Magnus Henriksen, son of her stepmother Ingrid Ragnvaldsdotter and Ingrid's first husband, Henrik Skadelår. Her spouse claimed the Swedish throne through his mother in 1160–61. After his death in 1161, she remarried the Swedish jarl Birger Brosa of the Bjälbo family. The daughter she had during her marriage to Brosa, Ingegerd Birgersdotter, was to be ...

12th-century Danish Nobility
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. In mathematics, 1 is the multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number. In digital technology, 1 represents the "on" state in binary code, the foundation of computing. Philosophically, 1 symbolizes the ultimate reality or source of existence in various traditions.

Cecilia Johansdotter Of Sweden
Cecilia Johansdotter (fl. 1193) is the possible name of the wife of King Knut Eriksson of Sweden and mother of King Erik Knutsson. Little is known about her except that she was of aristocratic origins and died sometime after 1193. Biography Despite the fact that she was queen for over twenty years, the queen consort of Knut Eriksson is one of the most unknown of Swedish queens. Neither her name, her parents or her birth and death years are confirmed. Knut stated in a letter to Pope Clement III that his bride was the only one who was of sufficiently high status to marry him, which may point to royal connections. Some historians guess that she was the daughter of Johan, son of King Sverker I of Sweden (died 1156).* The assumption that she carried the name Cecilia rests on the hypothesis that an annal entry from the 14th century has been twisted. This text states that the mother of King Erik the Saint (died 1160) was called Cecilia, the sister of Ulf Jarl and Kol and the daugh ...

Stefan (archbishop Of Uppsala)
Stefan (before 1143 – 18 July 1185) was the first Archbishop of Uppsala in Sweden in the year 1164, a post he held until his death. Stefan was a Cistercian monk from Alvastra monastery (of which he was one of the founders in 1143). His origin is not known, but it is believed that he was originally from England or Germany because many monks from the monastery were from those countries and because his name was rather uncommon in Sweden at that time. In 1164 Stefan travelled to Sens in France to meet Pope Alexander III. The Pope was seeking refuge in Sens because of disputes in Rome. Present in Sens was another refugee: the archbishop of Lund (Denmark), Eskil, who had supported the wrong king in Denmark and thus been forced into exile. The Pope agreed to grant Sweden an archbishop. This matter had already been discussed a decade earlier, but because of civil conflicts was never realized. A pallium had, however, been made in Lund for that occasion, and Eskil had brought it with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles VII Of Sweden
Karl Sverkersson or Charles VII ( – 12 April 1167) was the ruler of Götaland, and then King of Sweden from to 1167, when he was assassinated in a military attack by Knut Eriksson who then succeeded him as king. Pretender to the throne Karl was the son of King Sverker the Elder, who was assassinated in December 1156, by first wife Ulvhild Håkansdotter. A pretender from another family, Erik Jedvardsson (whom later generations dubbed martyr and saint), ruled over parts of Sweden in the following years. However, Karl was chosen king by the people of Östergötland in , apparently in opposition to Erik. A letter from pope Hadrianus IV () knows him as ruler of ''regnum Gothorum'' although Erik is known to have held power in Västergötland. It is claimed in a late medieval chronicle that Erik's murder by minions of their rival Magnus Henriksen in 1160 was also backed by Karl. Magnus Henriksen had a brief reign after killing Erik, but was himself killed by Karl Sverkersson, pro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
