I henhold til Adam av Bremen var Olof gift med obotritiskan Estrid.

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 2, Ed. 1, Tree #1241, Date of Import: May 8, 1997]

!AN OBOTRITIAN PRINCESS

The legend say she was taken back to the country as a war-price; she was most likely given by her father, a chieftain of the Obotrites, as a peace offering in a marriage to seal the peace, and the guess is that she brought a great dowry, as a great Slavic influence is represented in Sweden from her time, mainly among craftsmen. Her husband also had a mistress, Edla, who came from the same area in Europe as herself and who was perhaps taken to Sweden at the same time, and the king treated Edla and Estrid the same way and gave his son and two daughters with Edla the same privilegies as the children he had with Estrid, though it was Estrid he married and made queen.
Queen Estrid was baptised with her husband, their children and large parts of the Swedish court in 1008, when the Swedish royal family converted to Christianity, though the king promised to respect the freedom of religion - Sweden was not to be Christian until the last religion war of 1084-1088. Events Olof, king of Sweden, is baptized. ... Events Saint Bruno founds the Carthusian Order of monks Kyanzittha begins his reign in Myanmar. ... Events Succession of Pope Urban II (1088-1099) Work begins on the third and largest church at Cluny Rebellion of 1088 against William II of England lead by Odo of Bayeux. ... Not much is known of Estrid as a person. Snorre Sturlasson mentions her as the lover of pomp and luxury and hard and firm against her servants.

Biografi

Legenden säger att Estrid togs tillbaka till Sverige från ett krig i västra slaviska området Mecklenburg som ett krig - pris. Hon var troligen från sin far , en tribal chefen för Polabian obotriterna , som ett tackoffer i ett äktenskap att försegla fred , och hon tros ha fört med sig en stor hemgift , som en stor slavisk inflytande är representerat i Sverige från sin tid , främst bland hantverkare.

Hennes man hade också en älskarinna , Edla , som kom från samma område i Europa som sig själv, och som var om möjligt tas till Sverige vid samma tidpunkt . Kungen behandlas Edla och Estrid på samma sätt och gav sin son och hans två döttrar med Edla samma privilegies som barn han hade med Estrid , fast det var Estrid gifte han sig och gjorde Queen.

Drottning Estrid döptes tillsammans med sin make , sina barn och ett stort antal av det svenska hovet i 1008 , när den svenska kungafamiljen konverterat till kristendomen , men kungen lovade att respektera religionsfriheten - Sverige var inte för att vara kristna till den sista religiöst krig mellan Inge den äldre och Blot-Sven i 1084-1088 .

Snorre Sturlassons skrev om henne, att Estrid var ovänlig mot barnen ( Emund , Astrid och Holmfrid ) av makens älskarinna Edla , " Drottning Estrid var arrogant och inte snällt mot henne styvbarn , och därför konungen sände sin son Emund till Vendland , där Han uppfostrades av sin moderns släktingar " .

Inte mycket är känt av Estrid som person. Snorre Sturlassons nämner henne som en älskare av pomp och lyx , och så hård och sträng mot sina tjänare .

From the Wikipedia page on Estrid of the Obotrites:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrid_of_the_Obotrites

Estrid (or Astrid) of the Obotrites (ca. 979 – 1035), was a Medieval and Viking age Swedish Queen consort and West Slavic Princess, married to Olof Skötkonung, the King of Sweden, ca. 1000–1022, mother of king Anund Jacob of Sweden and the Russian Saint and Queen (Grand Princess) Ingegerd Olofsdotter.

Biography

Legend says that Estrid was taken back to Sweden from a war in the West Slavic area of Mecklenburg as a war-prize. She was most likely given by her father, a tribal chief of the Polabian Obotrites, as a peace offering in a marriage to seal the peace, and she is thought to have brought with her a great dowry, as a great Slavic influence is represented in Sweden from her time, mainly among craftsmen.

Her husband also had a mistress, Edla, who came from the same area in Europe as herself, and who was possibly taken to Sweden at the same time. The king treated Edla and Estrid the same way and gave his son and his two daughters with Edla the same privilegies as the children he had with Estrid, though it was Estrid he married and made Queen.

Queen Estrid was baptised with her husband, their children and large numbers of the Swedish royal court in 1008, when the Swedish royal family converted to Christianity, although the king promised to respect the freedom of religion - Sweden was not to be Christian until the last religious war between Inge the Elder and Blot-Sweyn of 1084-1088.

Snorre Sturlasson wrote about her, that Estrid was unkind to the children (Emund, Astrid and Holmfrid) of her husband's mistress Edla; "Queen Estrid was arrogant and not kind towards her stepchildren, and therefore the king sent his son Emund to Vendland, where he was brought up by his maternal relatives".

Not much is known of Estrid as a person. Snorre Sturlasson mentions her as a lover of pomp and luxury, and as hard and strict towards her servants.

Children

1. Ingegerd Olofsdotter (circa 1001-1054), Grand Princess of Kiev, in Russia called Anna, married Yaroslav I the Wise, prince of Novgorod and Kiev.

2. Anund Jacob (circa 1010-1050), king of Sweden, succeeded Olaf as king in c. 1022.

From the Wikipedia page on the Obotrites:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obotrites

The Obotrites (German: Abodriten), also commonly known as the Obodrites, Abotrites, or Abodrites, were a confederation of medieval West Slavic tribes within the territory of modern Mecklenburg and Holstein in northern Germany (see Polabian Slavs). For decades they were allies of Charlemagne in his wars against Germanic Saxons and Slavic Veleti.

In 798 the Obodrites, ruled by prince Drożko, or Draško (Thrasco, orig.), defeated Saxons in the battle on Swentana river. The still heathen Saxons (Nordalbingians) were dispersed by the emperor, and the part of their former land in Holstein north of Elbe was awarded to the Obotrites in 804, as a reward for their victory. This however was soon reverted by invasion of Danes.

The Bavarian Geographer, an anonymous medieval document compiled in Regensburg in 830, contains a list of the tribes in Central Eastern Europe to the east of the Elbe. The list includes the Nortabtrezi (Obotrites) - with 53 civitates. Adam of Bremen referred to them as the Reregi because of their lucrative trade emporium Reric. In common with other Slavic groups, they were often described by Germanic sources as Wends.

The main tribes[1] of the Obotritic confederation were:

1. the Obotrites proper (Wismar Bay to Lake Schwerin);

2. the Wagrians (the eastern Holstein as part of Saxony);

3. the Warnower (the upper Warnow and Mildenitz);

4. the Polabians proper (between the Trave and the Elbe, SUPPOSEDLY OUR ANCESTOR COMES FROM HERE).

Other tribes associated with the confederation include:

1. the Linonen near Lenzen,

2. the Travnjane near the Trave,

3. the Drevani in the Hanoverian Wendland and the northern Altmark.[2]

The Limes Saxoniae forming the border between the Saxons to the west and the Obotrites to the eastAs allies of the Carolingian kings and the empire of their Ottonian successors, the Obotrites fought from 808 to 1200 against the kings of Denmark, who wished to rule the Baltic region independently of the empire.

When opportunities arose, for instance upon the death of an emperor, they would seek to seize power; and in 983 Hamburg was destroyed by the Obotrites under their king, Mstivoj. At times they levied tribute from the Danes and Saxons.

Under the leadership of Niklot, they resisted a Christian assault during the Wendish Crusade.

From the Wikipedia page on the Polabians:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polabians_(tribe)

The Polabians (German: Polaben; Latin: Polabi) were a constituent West Slavic tribe of the Obotrites who lived between the Trave and the Elbe. The main settlement of the Polabians was Racisburg (modern Ratzeburg), named after their Prince Ratibor. The Polabians were similar to the Drevani, also known as the Draväno-polaben or Drevanen, in Lüchow-Dannenberg.

Ben notes: The picture used to depict this person is not actually Estrid, but rather is a Swedish chess piece (a Queen) from Estrid's time period, near the turn of the first millenium AD.

Королева Эстриди, мать святой Анны, происходившая из самого знатного рода Швеции, была известна своим выдающимся умом, любвеобильным сердцем и великодушием.

Пребывала сначала в городе Упсале, затем попеременно то в построенной королем на морском берегу Новой Сигтуне, то в городе Скаре, где находилась кафедра епископа и сосредоточивались главные христианские силы страны.

Estrid of the Obotrites

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Estrid (or Astrid) of the Obotrites (ca. 979 – 1035), was a Swedish queen consort, married to Olof Skötkonung, the King of Sweden, ca. 1000, and mother of king Anund Jacob of Sweden.

Not much is known of Estrid as a person. Snorre Sturlasson mentions her as the lover of pomp and luxury and as hard and strict towards her servants.

[edit]Children

Their son Anund Jacob succeeded Olaf as king. A daughter, Ingegerd Olofsdotter, in Russia called Anna, married Yaroslav I the Wise, prince of Novgorod and Kiev.

Legend say Estrid was taken back to Sweden as a war-price; she was most likely given by her father, a chieftain of the Polabian Obotrites, as a peace offering in a marriage to seal the peace, and the guess is that she brought a great dowry, as a great Slavic influence is represented in Sweden from her time, mainly among craftsmen.

Her husband also had a mistress, Edla, who came from the same area in Europe as herself and who was perhaps taken to Sweden at the same time, and the king treated Edla and Estrid the same way and gave his son and two daughters with Edla the same privilegies as the children he had with Estrid, though it was Estrid he married and made queen.

Queen Estrid was baptised with her husband, their children and large parts of the Swedish court in 1008, when the Swedish royal family converted to Christianity, though the king promised to respect the freedom of religion - Sweden was not to be Christian until the last religion war of 1084-1088.

The Obotrites were a confederation of Western Slavic tribes in what is now northern Germany.

Estrid or Astrid of the Obotrites (ca. 979 – 1035), was married to Olof Skötkonung, the King of Sweden, ca. 1000.

Legend says that Estrid was taken back to Sweden from a war in the West Slavic area of Mecklenburg as a war-prize. She was most likely given by her father, a tribal chief of the Polabian Obotrites, as a peace offering in a marriage to seal the peace, and she is thought to have brought with her a great dowry, as a great Slavic influence is represented in Sweden from her time, mainly among craftsmen.

Her husband also had a mistress, Edla, who came from the same area in Europe as herself, and who was possibly taken to Sweden at the same time. The king treated Edla and Estrid the same way and gave his son and his two daughters with Edla the same privileges as the children he had with Estrid, though it was Estrid he married and made Queen.

Snorre Sturlasson wrote about her, that Estrid was unkind to the children (Emund, Astrid and Holmfrid) of her husband's mistress Edla; " Queen Estrid was arrogant and not kind towards her stepchildren, and therefore the king sent his son Emund to Vendland, where he was brought up by his maternal relatives".

Not much is known of Estrid as a person. Snorre Sturlasson mentions her as a lover of pomp and luxury, and as hard and strict towards her servants.
