Sygryda Storråda known also as Świętosława
born between 960-972
daughter of Mieszko I of Poland and Doubravka Přemyslovna
Polish Princess, sister of King Bolesław I the Brave
Queen of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and England
Mother of Cnut the Great and Harald the II
Wife of Eric the Victorious and Sweyn Forkbeard
Between 980 and 984, her father married her to Eric the Victorious, king of Sweden. Most likely, it was a political marriage, aimed against Denmark, which was supposed to enable Mieszko to strengthen his power in Western Pomerania. The only known children from this marriage were Olof Skötkonung, later king of Sweden, and Holmfryd Eriksdotter. Sygrid was widowed around 995. Olaf was already in full power at that time. After exchanging messages, Olaf proposed marriage, to which Sigrid agreed. In remembrance of this, Olaf sent her a large gold ring, which he took as a reward, but Sigrid's goldsmiths discovered that it was only gold-plated brass, making Sigrid question his truthfulness. Then, when Olaf and Sigrid met in person, he insisted that in order to marry, she must convert to Christianity. Olav Tryggvason became so angry that he hit her in the face and said that he had no use for a pagan b’tch. After this injustice, Sigrid Storråda became the fierce enemy of Olaf Tryggvason. She married King Sven Tveskägg of Denmark and invited him and his son Olof Skötkonung, now King of Sweden, to wage war against Olav Tryggvason. This marriage took place around 996. At least five children were born from this union, including two subsequent Danish kings: Harald II Svensson and Cnut II the Great, and daughters: Estryda and Świętosława. When Sweyn exiled his wife around 1002, she took refuge with her brother, Bolesław the Brave, in Poland. After the death of the Danish King Sweyn, their sons Harald and Cnut came to Poland, asking their mother to return to Denmark. The last certain fact in her life is her return to Denmark. Cnut conquered England in 1016. Probably his mother accompanied him during his reign in England, because sources indicate that she was still alive in 1016. The place and date of her death are unknown.
Queen Sigrid the Haughty sat proud and aloft
In her chamber, that looked over meadow and croft.
Heart's dearest,
Why dost thou sorrow so?
The floor with tassels of fir was besprent,
Filling the room with their fragrant scent.
She heard the birds sing, she saw the sun shine,
The air of summer was sweeter than wine.
Like a sword without scabbard the bright river lay
Between her own kingdom and Norroway.
But Olaf the King had sued for her hand,
The sword would be sheathed, the river be spanned.
Her maidens were seated around her knee,
Working bright figures in tapestry.
And one was singing the ancient rune
Of Brynhilda's love and the wrath of Gudrun.
And through it, and round it, and over it all
Sounded incessant the waterfall.
The Queen in her hand held a ring of gold,
From the door of Ladé's Temple old.
King Olaf had sent her this wedding gift,
But her thoughts as arrows were keen and swift.
She had given the ring to her goldsmiths twain,
Who smiled, as they handed it back again.
And Sigrid the Queen, in her haughty way,
Said, "Why do you smile, my goldsmiths, say?"
And they answered: "O Queen! if the truth must be told,
The ring is of copper, and not of gold!"
The lightning flashed o'er her forehead and cheek,
She only murmured, she did not speak:
"If in his gifts he can faithless be,
There will be no gold in his love to me."
A footstep was heard on the outer stair,
And in strode King Olaf with royal air.
He kissed the Queen's hand, and he whispered of love,
And swore to be true as the stars are above.
But she smiled with contempt as she answered: "O King,
Will you swear it, as Odin once swore, on the ring?"
And the King: "O speak not of Odin to me,
The wife of King Olaf a Christian must be."
Looking straight at the King, with her level brows,
She said, "I keep true to my faith and my vows."
Then the face of King Olaf was darkened with gloom,
He rose in his anger and strode through the room.
"Why, then, should I care to have thee?" he said,--
"A faded old woman, a heathenish jade!
His zeal was stronger than fear or love,
And he struck the Queen in the face with his glove.
Then forth from the chamber in anger he fled,
And the wooden stairway shook with his tread.
Queen Sigrid the Haughty said under her breath,
"This insult, King Olaf, shall be thy death!"
Heart's dearest,
Why dost thou sorrow so?
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Now the Queen of Sweden, whom men called the Haughty, was at that time living at one or other of her manors, and betwixt King Olaf and her fared there that winter emissaries who sought her hand in the name of the King. ¤ Queen Sigrid received the offer in a friendly spirit, and in due time was their troth plighted. ¤ King Olaf sent Queen Sigrid the great ring of gold which he had taken from off the door of the temple at Ladir, and it was deemed a most noble gift. ¤ Now touching the matter of this marriage a meeting was to take place the following spring by the Gota river, on the marches of the country. ¤ While this ring which King Olaf had sent to Queen Sigrid was being praised so exceedingly were the Queen’s smiths, brothers, with her; & it befell that they took the ring, and weighed it in their hands, & then spake a word together privily. At this the Queen summoned them to her, and asked of them why made they such mock of the ring, but they denied that they were doing such a thing. ¤ Then said she that she insisted upon knowing what it was they had discovered; & thereupon they told her that there was falsehood in the ring. Then did the Queen let the ring be broken asunder, and copper was found to be inside it. ¤ Thereon was the Queen wroth, and said that Olaf might play her false in more things than this one.
That same winter went King Olaf up into Ringariki and introduced Christianity there. Now it had befallen that Asta, the daughter of Gudbrand, was speedily wedded after the death of Harald the Grenlander to a man named Sigurd Sow,§ who was King of Ringariki. Sigurd was the son of Sigurd o’ the Copse who again was son to Harald Fair-hair. Dwelling with Asta at that time was Olaf her son by Harald the Grenlander, for he was being reared at the house of his step-father Sigurd Sow. When King Olaf Tryggvason went to Ringariki to introduce Christianity, Sigurd let himself be christened together with Asta his wife, & Olaf her son,§ & for the latter stood Olaf Tryggvason sponsor; the babe was at that time three winters old. ¤ King Olaf then fared southward again to Vik, and abode there the winter, & this was the third winter that he was King of Norway.
Early in the spring fared King Olaf eastward to Konungahella (the King’s rock) to the tryst with Queen Sigrid, and when they were met, talked they one with the other over the matter which had been set afoot in the winter, to wit, that they should wed one another. ¤ Right hopeful did the matter seem to them, until King Olaf spake & said that Sigrid must accept christening and the true Faith. ¤ Then did the Queen make answer: ‘Depart from the faith that I have held aforetime, and which my kindred held before me will I never: yet will I not account it against thee shouldst thou believe on whatsoever god may seem best to thy mind.’ Then Olaf waxed exceedingly wroth and made answer hastily: ‘Heathen as a dog art thou—why should I wed thee?’ and smote her in the face with the glove he was holding in his hand. ¤ Then stood he up on his feet & she arose likewise, and Sigrid said, ‘This might be thy undoing.’ Thereafter were they parted, the King going northward to Vik, and the Queen east to Sweden.
[...}
As hath been related ere this, King Svein Two-beard had wedded Sigrid the Haughty, & Sigrid was King Olaf’s greatest foe, the reason therefor being how King Olaf had broken his troth with her, as has been afore set in fair script, and how he had smote her on the face. ¤ Sigrid incited King Svein to do battle with King Olaf Tryggvason, saying pretext enough was it that he had wedded the own sister to Svein, she Tyri, without his leave: ‘And never would thy forefathers have suffered such a thing.’ Such words as these had Queen Sigrid ever on her lips, and so far went she with her persuasions that King Svein was full willing to do battle with Olaf. So early in spring-tide sent King Svein men east to Sweden, to Olaf the Swedish King, he that was his step-son, & to Earl Eirik, to tell them that Olaf King of Norway had his fleet abroad, and thought of faring to Wendland come summer; another message took they likewise, namely that the Swedish King and the Earl should call out their hosts and go to meet King Svein, and that then altogether they should get their battle over against King Olaf. Now the King of Sweden and Eirik the Earl were ready and eager for this venture, so mustered they a large fleet in Sweden, and with the ships thereof went south to Denmark and came thither at the time when King Olaf had already sailed east. Of this speaketh Halldor in the song he made about Earl Eirik:
an extract from “The saga of Olaf Tryggvasson
The only illustration of her had been the one of her rejecting Olaf Tryggvasson’s proposal of marriage:
I’m going to post pics of her mother father and brother as well because that may help imagine how she may have looked better.

30 Kasım 2023 Nordsjaelland Fenerbahçe Maçı
*Right to Dream Park'ta saat 23:00'te başlayacak olan UEFA Avrupa Konferans Ligi H Grubu beşinci maçı. Karşılaşmada Fransız hakem Jeremie Pignard görev alacak. Kanarya için turu ve bir ihtimal liderliği kesinleştirme maçı. Danimarka'da mevsim yönünden de düşününce bu dönemde zorlu şartlar olacak. Eksikler de malum. Yine de inancımız tam ve önceki performansımızı gösterirsek çok rahat ulaşırız hedefe. Yürekten başarılar diliyoruz temsilcimize.
*Exxen'den naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.
*21. dakikada Lucas Hey'in attığı golle Nordsjaelland 1-0 öne geçti. Tutuk başlamıştık ve golü gördük. Uyanalım, haydi!
*25. dakikada Daniel Svensson ağları havalandırdı ve 2-0 oldu. Donduk adeta ve tabelaya da yansıdı.
*43. dakikada Michy Batshuayi yazdı golünü ve Fenerbahçe 2-1 ile umutlandı. Kıpırdanışımız golü getirdi ve şimdi içeriye en azından daha canlı girebiliriz.
*İlk devrenin ardından Nordsjaelland 2-1 önde bulunuyor. Szymanski'nin golü VAR'dan döndü. Yoksa dengeyi de çok çabuk bir biçimde yakalamıştık. O da tabi ikinci yarıya kısmet diyelim.
*55. dakikada Benjamin Nygren golü bulan isim. Nordsjaelland durumu 3-1 yaptı. İşler yine zorlaştı.
*66. dakikada Christian Rasmussen topu ağlara yolladı ve 4-1'e taşıdı. Soğuk etkisini arttırırken skor da acayip bir yere gidiyor.
*75. dakikada Benjamin Nygren yine sahneye çıktı ve tabela 5-1'i gösteriyor. Artık son maçı düşünmeye başladık bile.
*84. dakikada Benjamin Nygren hat-trick yapıyor; 6-1.
*6-1 ile gülen Nordsjaelland 10 puana yükseldi. Fenerbahçe ise 9 puanda kaldı. Ne için gelmiştik ama ne ile karşılaştık. Dondurucu, kara bir gece geride kalıyor. Son maça bakacağız artık.
