Historical Notes

Estrid Svendsdatter of Denmark (990/997 - 1057/1073), was a Danish princess and titular queen, a Russian princess and, possibly, duchess of Normandy by marriage. She was the daughter of Sweyn Forkbeard and perhaps Gunhild of Wenden and half-sister of Cnut the Great. By Ulf Jarl, she was the mother of the later King Sweyn II Estridson and Beorn Estrithson. The dynasty that ruled Denmark in 1047-1412 was named after her. Though never a ruler or wife of a king, she was known in Denmark as queen during her son's reign.
