• Notes

  English and Danish excerpts from Wikipedia: "Estrid was born around 990 *or* around 997." "In 1047, her son became king in Denmark due to his mother's descent, and is hence known by the matronymic Sven Estridssen. Estrid herself was granted the *honorary title* of Queen [...] despite the fact that *she was not a monarch* nor the spouse of one." "THE DATE OF HER DEATH IS UNKNOWN, but it can be no earlier than 1057 or later than 1073, as it is known that Bishop William of Roskilde officiated at her funeral, and he was in office between 1057 and 1073." "She was widely believed to have been buried in the northeastern pier of the Roskilde Cathedral, but a DNA test in 2003 DISPELLED THE MYTH as the remains belonged to a woman much too young to be Estrid." "Estrid Svendsdatter var dronningemoder af Danmark mens hendes søn, Svend Estridsen (opkaldt efter hende) var konge. Hun byggede en ny kirke i Roskilde, som formodentlig var den første stenkirke i Danmark." "Sammen med Ulf Jarl fik Estrid to sønner: Svend Estridsen og Asbjørn Jarl. Ægteskabet var måske et forsøg fra Knuds side på at skaffe mere loyalitet omkring sig, men det virkede ikke og i 1026 blev Ulf dræbt i Roskilde Domkirke af Knuds mænd. Mandens formodede konspiration bragte dog ikke Estrid i unåde hos broren Knud. Tværtimod fik hun nu store jordbesiddelser i Skåne og på Sjælland i erstatning." "Det siges at hendes moder Sigrid nægtede at lade sig omvende til kristendommen, mens Estrid havde et godt forhold til kirken. Som rig enke skænkede hun jordegods til Roskilde Domkirke (efter 1057) og byggede for egne midler hvad der sandsynligvis var den første stenkirke i Danmark i Roskilde. Estrid skaffede sønnen Svend en kirkelig uddannelse der blev bemærket af pave Pave Gregor 7. Estrid blev lagt til hvile i Roskilde Domkirke." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrid_Svendsdatter https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrid_Svendsdatter [NB: Information sourced from Wikipedia is subject to change by third-parties.
