Ulvhild Håkansdotter (Swedish: Ulfhild, English: Wulfhild, Wolfhild), (c. 1095–c. 1148), was a Scandinavian queen, twice queen consort of Sweden (c. 1117–25 and c. 1134–48) and once queen consort of Denmark (c. 1130–34), married to King Inge II of Sweden, King Niels of Denmark and King Sverker I of Sweden. Ulvhild had an important role in the Nordic dynastic connections of her time, but the sources are unfortunately insufficient to map the closer circumstances. She is mentioned as a femme fatale of high-medieval Scandinavia, as well as a benefactor of the Catholic Church.

Drottning. Född 1095. Död 1148 i Alvastra Kungsgård. Ulvhild, drottning i Sverige (1100-talets förra hälft), av norsk börd, gift med Sverker d.ä. Ulvhild Håkansdotter är den svenska drottningslängdens verkliga "femme fatale", en manslukerska, giftmörderska och intrigmakerska av italienska renässansdimensioner. Ulvhild föddes ca 1095 eller kort därpå som dotter till den norske ländermannen och t.f. jarlen Håkon Finnsson (av Finn Skjalges ätt). År 1116 gifte hon sig med svenska kungen Inge den yngre. År 1118 sägs hon ha lurat Inge att mörda hans samregent och äldre bror kung Filip. År 1125 blev Inge förgiftad med en ond dryck i Vreta, och bakom mordet stod sannolikt hustrun Ulvhild och stormannen Sverker Kolsson, som kan ha varit drottningens älskare. Ulvhild gifte hon om sig 1130 med den svenske kungen Magnus den starkes far, kung Niels Svendsson av Danmark. Samma år sägs hon ha övertalat Magnus att mörda hertig Knud Larvad samt Sverker att med list besegra sina motståndare bland svearna och västgötarna. År 1132 lämnade hon kung Niels (som dog under outredda omständigheter kort där på, 1134) och ingick ett tredje gifte: med Sverker nu relativt obestridd kung i Sverige. År 1135 blev hon mor till Karl Sverkersson, sedemera kung i Sverige. Hon upplät 1143 kungsgården Alvastra åt cisterciensmunkarna och kan därför ses som grundare av Alvastra kloster, senare även Nydala. År 1148 avled hon, troligen på Alvastra kungsgård.

Ulvhild Håkansdotter, död 1148, drottning av Svitjod, dotter till Håkon Finnsson.

Gift 1) med Inge d.y.

Änka till Inge d.y. och styvmor till den stupade Magnus, vald till kung av Västergötland.

Gift 2) med kung Nils av Danmark, som dog.

Ulfhild, änka efter kung Niels hade gjort sig omöjlig i Danmark och flydde till Sverige. Hon övertygade den östgötska hövdingen Sverker, Erik Årsälls son, om att han skulle ha större utsikter att bli accepterad även i Västergötland om han tog henne till maka.

Gift 3) med Sverker d.ä.

Det gick vägen och Sverker blev år 1130 hyllad som hela Sveriges konung. Han kallas Sverker d.ä. för att skilja honom från sonsonen Sverker d.y. Karlsson.

Genom sin börd och sina äktenskap kom Ulvhild att få ett betydelsefullt kontaktnät och förmodligen även stora personliga tillgångar. Hon var personlig vän med ärkebiskop Eskil i Lund, vilken i sin tur stod Bernhard av Clairvaux nära. Detta kontaktnät hade hon med sig in i äktenskapet med Sverker och det var hon som tog initiativ till att bjuda in Cistersienserna till Östergötland och tillsammans med Sverker låta grunda Alvastra kloster.

Ulfhild var känd för sin fromhet och kristna nit i flera källor. I andra framställningar har hon utmålats som extremt ondskefull i yngre år, men from i sin ålderdom. Under hennes tid som drottning grundades även klostren i Nydala och Varnhem. Giftermål och barn [redigera]

  1. Med Inge den yngre (död 1125) - inga barn.

  2. Med Nils av Danmark (död 1134) - inga barn.

  3. Med Sverker den äldre 1132-1148.

Efter kung Nils bortgång lämnade Ulvhild Danmark för Sverige (vissa källor anger att hon gjort sig omöjlig i Danmark och lämnade honom redan innan). Hon övertygade den östgötska hövdingen Sverker om att han skulle ha större utsikter att bli accepterad även i Västergötland om han tog henne till maka vilket även skedde; Sverker blev år 1130 hyllad som hela Sveriges konung.

Helena er nevnt i år 1100. Hun var svensk dronning, gift med Kong Inge 1 d.e. Stenkilson av Sverige. Hun nevnes som kong Inges hustru i den slektsutredning som ble inngitt i 1194 i et brev til paven fra dansk side for å bestride ekteskapshinder mellom den franske kongen Filip II August og en datter til hennes datterdattersønn, kong Valdemar den Store av Danmark. Brevet er forfattet av abbeden Vilhelm av Æbelholt (W. Norvin: Abbed Wilhelms Breve 1933, side 159). Helena og Inge hadde barna:

1. Fyrstinne Christina Ingesdotter. Død 18.01.1122. 2. Dronning Margareta Fredkulla Ingesdotter av Sverige. Død før 1136. 3. Katarina Ingesdotter.

Helena forekommer også i en større genealogi av Æbelholt over de danske kongene.

Som Inge's hustru omtales hun i en lengde over 1100-talls donatorer til Vreta kloster, kjent gjennom avskrifter fra 1500-tallet. Samme lengde oppgir også at en dronning Helena hadde inngått i klosteret og donert jord i Røby i Slaka til klosteret.

Plasseringen av denne notis har imidlertid ført til spekulasjoner om at hun skulle være identisk med en ukjent senere dronning. Derfor henger spørsmålet om Helenas identitet sammen med den "Elena Regina" viss dødsdag var 31. desember i henhold til "Necrologium Lundense".

I henhold til den islandske Hervararsagaen fra 1200-tallet var Blot-Sven bror til Inge den eldres hustru, hun kalles "Mær" i denne sagaen. Ordet betyr mø, men er forøvrig ikke kjent som kvinnenavn. Det har derfor blitt antatt at hun var identisk med Helena, dvs. at Helena var søster til Blot-Sven og dermed i slekt med den foregående kongeslekten.

1500-tallshistorikeren Johannes Magnus, som forvekslet Inge den yngre og Inge den eldre, gjorde Helena til Inge den yngres dronning. Dette har ført til at hennes navn forekommer på det gravmonument over Inge den yngre som Johan III lot oppføre i Vreta klosters kirke. Helena døde i begynnelsen av 1100-talet.1)

Ulvhild Håkansdotter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulvhild Haakonardottir, (Swedish:Ulfhild Håkansdotter), (c. 1095–1148), was a medieval Scandinavian queen, queen consort of Sweden twice (c. 1117–25 and 1134–48) and queen consort of Denmark once (1130–34), married to King Inge II of Sweden, King Niels of Denmark and King Sverker I of Sweden. She is mentioned as a femme fatale of high-medieval Scandinavia.

Biography

Ulvhild was certainly from Norway. Legends (sagas) mention her as daughter of Norwegian magnate Haakon Finnsson, of the Thjotta family. It is almost certain that her mother was not queen Margaret Fredkulla, and the name of her mother has not been preserved to later centuries. Young Ulvhild was firstly married to king Inge II of Sweden, in about 1116/17. They appear not to have had children. In 1118, she is rumoured to have made Inge poison his brother a co-regent king Philip. Legend say King Inge died of an evil drink in Vreta, allegedly poisoned by Queen Ulvhild and her alleged lover, Sverker Kolsson. This created her reputation as a dangerous woman. After the death of king Inge, Ulvhild moved to Denmark. This was to claim asylum: she seems to have had relatives and allies in Denmark (she did not settle to Norway), whereas there were problems in Sweden. She is said to have married king Niels of Denmark after the death of his first queen, Margaret Fredkulla of Sweden, in 1130. After four years as queen of Denmark, Ulvhild became a widow, after which she, Queen dowager of both Sweden and Denmark, married King Sverker I of Sweden. She was to have separated from Niels and moved back to Sweden already in 1132. Some sources say that she had returned to Sweden and married Sverker already in 1130. No objections was made against the third marriage or against the legitimacy of her children, which had been taken as proof that she was not married to Niels, but only his mistress, while if she was married to him, the church would not have allowed her marriage to Sverker in 1130, when Niels was still alive. In reality, she likely married Niels in 1130, when his first wife died, and married Sverker in 1134, when Niels had died, which would meet no objection from the church. King Sverker was said to be from a family without royal lineage. The marriage was to him a means of enhancing his legitimacy, Ulvhild having been queen of Sweden already once. Were Ulvhild - against all researched probability - a daughter of Margaret Fredkulla, herself daughter of king Inge I of Sweden, the marriage would have served Sverker yet better; Sverker seems not to have attempted to marry any known descendant of Sweden's earlier kings, he instead married two widows of such kings. After a decade or so, queen Ulvhild died, and Sverker married secondly Rikissa of Poland, widow of Magnus, king of Gothenland, Sverker's earlier rival and opponent. [edit]Children and family

Ulvhild was married three times; to King Inge II of Sweden in ca 1120, to King Niels of Denmark in 1130, and to King Sverker I of Sweden in 1134. She had at least two surviving sons and two surviving daughters, all born of her third marriage with Sverker: Princess Helena of Sweden, (fl. 1157), queen consort of Denmark, in 1156 married to king Canute V of Denmark, Rikissa's son. Later nun in Vreta Abbey. Prince Jon Sverkersson of Sweden, (d. before 1156), mentioned as jarl, but killed by peasants during last years of his father Sverker. King Charles VII of Sweden, (d.1167), who after his father's murder held (parts of) Gothenland, was possibly called jarl and certainly held as his father's heir and dynastical successor, but ultimately succeeded to the throne of Sweden after their dynasty's rival Eric IX, as king Charles VII of Sweden. Princess Ingegerd Sverkersdotter of Sweden, Abbess of Vreta Abbey If a descendant of king Sverker I were father of Ingrid Ylva, then it is fully possible that he was also a son of Ulvhild.

Ulvhild Håkansdotter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulvhild Haakonardottir, (Swedish:Ulfhild Håkansdotter), (c. 1095–1148), was a medieval Scandinavian queen, queen consort of Sweden twice (c. 1117–25 and 1134–48) and queen consort of Denmark once (1130–34), married to King Inge II of Sweden, King Niels of Denmark and King Sverker I of Sweden. She is mentioned as a femme fatale of high-medieval Scandinavia.

Biography

Ulvhild was certainly from Norway. Legends (sagas) mention her as daughter of Norwegian magnate Haakon Finnsson, of the Thjotta family. It is almost certain that her mother was not queen Margaret Fredkulla, and the name of her mother has not been preserved to later centuries. Young Ulvhild was firstly married to king Inge II of Sweden, in about 1116/17. They appear not to have had children. In 1118, she is rumoured to have made Inge poison his brother a co-regent king Philip. Legend say King Inge died of an evil drink in Vreta, allegedly poisoned by Queen Ulvhild and her alleged lover, Sverker Kolsson. This created her reputation as a dangerous woman. After the death of king Inge, Ulvhild moved to Denmark. This was to claim asylum: she seems to have had relatives and allies in Denmark (she did not settle to Norway), whereas there were problems in Sweden. She is said to have married king Niels of Denmark after the death of his first queen, Margaret Fredkulla of Sweden, in 1130. After four years as queen of Denmark, Ulvhild became a widow, after which she, Queen dowager of both Sweden and Denmark, married King Sverker I of Sweden. She was to have separated from Niels and moved back to Sweden already in 1132. Some sources say that she had returned to Sweden and married Sverker already in 1130. No objections was made against the third marriage or against the legitimacy of her children, which had been taken as proof that she was not married to Niels, but only his mistress, while if she was married to him, the church would not have allowed her marriage to Sverker in 1130, when Niels was still alive. In reality, she likely married Niels in 1130, when his first wife died, and married Sverker in 1134, when Niels had died, which would meet no objection from the church. King Sverker was said to be from a family without royal lineage. The marriage was to him a means of enhancing his legitimacy, Ulvhild having been queen of Sweden already once. Were Ulvhild - against all researched probability - a daughter of Margaret Fredkulla, herself daughter of king Inge I of Sweden, the marriage would have served Sverker yet better; Sverker seems not to have attempted to marry any known descendant of Sweden's earlier kings, he instead married two widows of such kings. After a decade or so, queen Ulvhild died, and Sverker married secondly Rikissa of Poland, widow of Magnus, king of Gothenland, Sverker's earlier rival and opponent. [edit]Children and family

Ulvhild was married three times; to King Inge II of Sweden in ca 1120, to King Niels of Denmark in 1130, and to King Sverker I of Sweden in 1134. She had at least two surviving sons and two surviving daughters, all born of her third marriage with Sverker: Princess Helena of Sweden, (fl. 1157), queen consort of Denmark, in 1156 married to king Canute V of Denmark, Rikissa's son. Later nun in Vreta Abbey. Prince Jon Sverkersson of Sweden, (d. before 1156), mentioned as jarl, but killed by peasants during last years of his father Sverker. King Charles VII of Sweden, (d.1167), who after his father's murder held (parts of) Gothenland, was possibly called jarl and certainly held as his father's heir and dynastical successor, but ultimately succeeded to the throne of Sweden after their dynasty's rival Eric IX, as king Charles VII of Sweden. Princess Ingegerd Sverkersdotter of Sweden, Abbess of Vreta Abbey If a descendant of king Sverker I were father of Ingrid Ylva, then it is fully possible that he was also a son of Ulvhild.

Biografi

Drottning av Sverige.

Born 1095.

Died 1148 in Alvastra kungsgård.

Änka efter danske kungen Nils Svensson,

gifte om sig efter andre mannens död

med den hostesven som lönnmördade kungen Sverker vid julotteforden till kyrkan

Ulvhild,

drottning i Sverige (1100-talets förra hälft),

av norsk börd,

gift med Sverker d.ä.

Ulvhild Håkansdotter är

den svenska drottningslängdens verkliga "femme fatale", en manslukerska, giftmörderska och intrigmakerska av italienska renässansdimensioner.

Ulvhild föddes ca 1095 eller kort därpå

som dotter till den norske ländermannen och t.f. jarlen Håkon Finnsson (av Finn Skjalges ätt).

År 1116 gifte hon sig med svenska kungen Inge den yngre.

År 1118 sägs hon ha lurat Inge att mörda hans samregent och äldre bror kung Filip.

År 1125 blev Inge förgiftad med en ond dryck i Vreta, och bakom mordet stod sannolikt hustrun Ulvhild och stormannen Sverker Kolsson, som kan ha varit drottningens älskare.

Ulvhild Håkonsdatter

Ulvhild Håkonsdatter (ca 1095-1148) var dronning av Svitjod (Sverige) på 1100-tallet, som var sterkt involvert i nordisk stormaktspolitikk, blant annet ble det påstått at hun var en giftmorder og en viljesterk intrigemaker.

Ulvhild var av god norsk ætt. Hennes far var jarl og stormannen Håkon Finnsson fra Buskerud, sønn av Finn Håreksson, som var sønn av Hårek Øyvindsson på Tjøtta i Hålogaland, sønn av den store skalden Øyvind Skaldespiller Finnsson.

Ulvhild var gift med:

• 1116: Inge den yngre (Halsteinsson) (1075-1125), svensk konge • 1130: Nils av Danmark (Sveinsson) (1064-1134), dansk konge • 1134: Sverker den eldre (1100-1156), svensk konge

I 1116 ble Ulvhild gift med den svenske kongen Inge den yngre. I 1118 blir det sagt at det var hun som klarte å egge Inge til å myrde sin medregent og eldre bror kong Filip. I 1125 ble Inge forgiftet med «en ond drikk» i Vreta, og bak mordet ble det påstått at hans norske hustru Ulvhild sto ansvarlig.

I 1130 giftet hun seg med kong Nils Sveinsson av Danmark, far til Magnus den sterke som regjerte over en bit av Sverige. Samme år myrdet Magnus sin fetter Knut Lavard og sto således bak Danmarkhistoriens mest berømte mord og som også kastet Danmark ut i en opprivende borgerkrig. Enkelte har forsøkt å framstille Ulvhild som hjernen bak mordet. Når kong Inge blir drept i borgerkrigen rømmer hun fra Danmark og oppsøker Sverker, høvding eller konge i Østgøtland, og klarte å overtale ham til å tro at han ville kunne bli akseptert som konge også Vestgøtland om hun ble hans make. Ulvhild fikk rett og i 1130 ble Sverker hyllet som hele Sveriges konge. Han kalles for Sverker den eldre for å skille ham fra sønnesønnen Sverker Karlsson den yngre.

Hennes barn:

• Johan Sverkersson (ble slått i hjel på grunn av et kvinnerov i 1150). • Karl Sverkersson av Sverige (født 1130, konge i tidsrommet 1161-1167). • Sune Sverkersson, også kjent som Sune Sik, (1132 - ) er muligens en oppdiktet person. •Ingegerd, en datter som i 1156 ble gift med Magnus den sterkes sønn Knut Magnusson.

Moderne historikere er skeptiske til anklagelsene om at Ulvhild var den «onde» kvinne som den umiddelbare ettertiden har beskrevet henne som, men at hun må ha vært viljesterk og handlekraftig synes sannsynlig.

Gjennom sin byrd og sine ekteskap fikk Ulvhild et betydningsfullt kontaktnett av forbindelser og sannsynligvis også store personlige økonomiske tilganger. Hun var en personlig venn med erkebiskop Eskil i Lund, som igjen sto i nær kontakt med Bernhard av Clairvaux. Dette kontaktnettet hadde hun med seg i ekteskapet med Sverker og det var hun som tok initiativet til å be cistercienserne til Østergøtland. Sammen med Sverker grunnla hun Alvastra kloster ved at hun i 1143 overlot kongsgården Alvastra til munkene. Senere også Nydala kloster. I 1148 døde hun, sannsynligvis på Alvastra hvor hun ble begravd.
