The marriage has been named Bröllopet på Ulvåsa by posterity. died about 1350. Lives in Vapnö castle, Halmstad. From the family Ribbing no. 15. Sigvid was born in the early 14th century. Through an inheritance in 1340, he received the estate Vapnö in Halland. (Vapnö has belonged to the Ribbing family since the beginning of the 14th century). Sigvid was a courtier over southern Halland between the years 1330 and 1345. He is described as a cruel and hard man. Stayed in Norway and Sweden in 1335. Sigvid married Märta Ulfsdotter in 1341. She was the daughter of Ulf Gudmarsson Hjorthufvud and Birgitta Birgersdotter (Saint Birgitta). Märta was only 13 years old when it was decided that she would become the wife of Sigvid Ribbing. The marriage was more of a "political agreement" between her father and the reigning King Magnus Eriksson than a happy marriage. Sigvid Ribbing who was a "robber" made himself rich through thefts from the ships in the Kattegat between Denmark and Sweden.

King Magnus Eriksson wanted power over trade in Sweden and in order to have a calm trade between the countries, he made a well-planned move by letting Councilor Ulf Gudmarsson's daughter Märta marry Sigvid Ribbing and persuade him to stay calm.

Through the marriage between Märta and Sigvid, Ulf Gudmarsson also strengthened his position as an adviser to the king because the agreement with Sigvid Ribbing was a political success for King Magnus Eriksson.
Marta's mother, Saint Birgitta, opposed the marriage between Märta and Sigvid.
When Sigvid and Märta got married, Saint Birgitta did not want to attend the wedding at Ulfåsa but sat outside the wedding hall. After a while she regretted it and eventually she went to them in the hall at Ulfåsa. (More about this can be read in Magdalena Ribbing's book - The Ribbing 700 years in Sweden's history).
Märta and Sigvid were married for just over 10 years and had four children.
Sigvid Ribbing died in the early 1350s when the Great Depression ravaged Sweden.

Märta Ulfsdotter (Ulvåsaätten), Heliga Birgittas dotter.

Märta Ulfsdotter, född omkring 1319, död 1371, var en svensk hovdam. Hon var som hovmästarinna ansvarig för drottning Margaretas uppfostran och undervisning.

Märta var dotter till Ulf Gudmarsson till Ulvåsa och Heliga Birgitta. Hon gifte sig med Sigvid Ribbing, hövitsman över södra Halland. Hennes första bröllop ägde rum år 1337 och har blivit berömt som Bröllopet på Ulvåsa. Detta finns omnämnt i sägnen om Heliga Birgittas helgonhistoria. Birgitta ogillade Märtas förste make och kallade honom rövare. Efter sin första makes död 1345 gifte hon om sig med Knut Algotsson (Bengt Hafridssons ätt).

Märta valdes år 1366 till hovmästarinna åt den framtida drottning Margareta, då Margareta bosatte sig i Norge. Hon undervisade sin dotter Ingegerd tillsammans med Margareta, och ska ha använt sig flitigt av aga som undervisningsmetod. Enligt legenden ska hon ha bibehållit: "en sådan överlägsenhet över sin kungliga elev, att denna, till och med sedan hon blivit drottning i Norige, måst underkasta sig samma råa bestraffning."

Gigantiskt falsarium här, hade i giftet med Sigvid Ribbing endast sönerna Peter och Arvid. Peter död barnlös ärvde sin ende tidigt drunknade brorson Arvid, när dennes far redan var bortgången.

När den heliga Birgittas yngsta dotter Cecilia dog 1399 var hennes enda belagda barn, dottern Katarina Larsdotter, hennes make Sten Stensson (Bielke) och deras barn döda och begravda i Cecilias grav i Vadstena. Hon ärvdes därför vid sin död av den då sista legala arvingen efter Birgitta, Cecilias systerdotter Katarina Knutsdotter (Lejon), som dock avstod från arvet till förmån för Vadstena kloster, där hennes syster Ingegärd då var abbedissa och som nunna hade avstått jordiska ägodelar och därmed arvsrätt.. Vid det här laget var alla övriga grenar från heliga Birgitta utgångna.
