Narrative

[large-G675.FTW]

Stammtafeln contradicts itself with reference to her. In Bund II Tafel 36 it says she married Richard II in 1017; in Bund II tafel 70 it says she married Robert I and not Richard. Univ. of Hull DB shows both links.

"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."
