From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Margaret Sambiria (1230?-1282) was the Queen consort of Christopher I of Denmark, and acted as regent for Eric V of Denmark. In Danish she is also known as Margrethe Sprænghest.

She was born daughter of duke Sambor II of the ruling family of Slavic (Vendic) Cassubians and his wife Mechtild of Mecklenburg. They held a lordship (then treated as duchy or principality) of so-called Pomerelia, in regions of Gdansk in what later was known as west Prussia. Her birth is approximately in 1230.

She was 1248 married to prince Christopher, the youngest son of Valdemar II of Denmark and Berengaria of Portugal. Her husband ascended the throne of Denmark in 1252 as Christopher I of Denmark by the then succession custom which followed so called agnatic seniority and Margaret was crowned together.

Her husband died 29 May 1259 (rumoredly poisoned). Their son and heir Eric V of Denmark who succeeded was a minor and Margaret was made regent, in which position she continued until 1264. Eric's succession overrode rights of sons of earlier monarchs and was against the traditions of agnatic seniority. However, only such living were sons of king Abel, who had the fame of fratricide, murderer, and it was easier to dispossess them. King Christopher had all his reign made work to ensure his own line's succession. Although the accession of Eric led to serious rivalry for generations, Christopher's line was usually victorious and kept the kingship.

She quarreled with lord Jakob Erlendsen and her husband's nephew Eric Abelson, as well as with counts of Holstein. After a loss in Lohede 1261 she together with her son the young king became imprisoned by Holsteins, but soon succeeded to liberty with help from Duke Albert of Brunswick. She took initiative. Margaret has a reputation of a very competent regent. Her nicknames "Spränghäst" and "Svarta Grete" are based on her strong will and energy. She died in December 1282 andis buried in a Cistercian Church in Doberan in northern Germany.

Margaret and Christopher had three children:

Matilda (died 1311), married to Albert III, margrave of Brandenburg
Margaret (died 1306), married count John II of Holstein-Kiel
Eric, the future king of Denmark (1249-1286).
A never-ending rivalry between Eric and his supporters on one side, and the kin of former King Abel on the other, made Queen Margrethe write to the Pope in Rome around 1262 or 1263, asking the Pope to allow for women to inherit the Danish throne, thus making it possible for one of Eric's sisters to become reigning Queen of Denmark in the event of the young King's death (he had no children as of yet). The Pope seemingly agreed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Christopher I (1219 – May 29, 1259) was King of Denmark between 1252 and 1259. He was the son of Valdemar II of Denmark by his wife, Princess Berengária of Portugal, and brother to Abel and Eric IV. He was elected King upon the death of his older brother Abel in the summer of 1252.

The king spent most of his rule on trying to fight his many opponents. By accepting Abel's sons as rulers of South Jutland he prevented their demands on the throne but in return the border district was now more or less independent. He also had to be reconciled with the kings of Norway and Sweden which had been provoked by Abel's interventions and finally he had to yield to some of the political demands of the Danish magnates. The Danehof seems to have become an institution during his rule.

Christopher found himself excommunicated from the Catholic Church, while trying to have his brother Eric IV of Denmark canonized. Eric was supposedly murdered by brother King Abel in 1250. His men had arrested and humiliated the proud and self-righteous Archbishop Jakob Erlandsen after Erlandsen had refused to recognize Christopher's son, Eric, as his (Christopher's) rightful successor. But the excommunication had little or no effect, and Christopher was buried in Christian soil by the Bishop of Ribe upon his death on May 29, 1259.

Some claimed that the King died very "unexpectedly" and shortly after taking the Holy Communion, but proof that he was in fact poisoned has never been offered. Christopher's allies, however, apparently took to calling him Krist-Offer ("Christ's sacrifice").

Christopher (Kristoffer) married Margaret Sambiria of Kassuben and had three children:

Matilda (died 1311), married to Albert III, Margrave of Brandenburg
Margaret (died 1306), married Count John II of Holstein-Kiel
King Eric V of Denmark.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Eric V "Klipping" (1249-1286) was King of Denmark (1259-1286) and son of Christopher I. Until 1264 he ruled under the auspices of his mother, the competent Queen Dowager Margaret Sambiria. In this period he was for some time 1261-1262 a prisoner in Holstein after a military defeat and afterwards he was for some years brought up in Brandenburg. He tried to enforce his power over church and nobility. His conflict with former was brought to a sitisfying result but 1282 he was forced by the latter to accept an agreement (a "handfastening" - a kind of a Danish Magna Carta) which limited his authority. In the 1270s, Erik Glipping attacked Småland.

A never-ending rivalry between Eric and his supporters on one side, and the kin of former King Abel on the other, made Queen Margrethe write to the Pope in Rome aroung 1262 or 1263, asking the Pope to allow for women to inherit the Danish throne, thus making it possible for one of Eric's sisters to become reigning Queen of Denmark in the event of the young King's death (he had no children as of yet). The Pope seemingly agreed, but it never became an issue; Eric was succeded by his son, who was named Eric after his uncle, Eric IV "Ploughpenny".

Eric Klipping was assasinated November 22, 1286, and a number of the nation's most powerful noblemen, led by Marsk Stig Andersen Hvide were outlawed by the Danish court. Whether or not they actually had anything to do with the murder, which took place in a small village near Viborg called Finderup, is still being questioned; the King's death meant that they lost almost all the power and influence that the 1282 charter had given them, since a new King would not be bound by the same agreement. The murder of Eric Klipping, who was stabbed to death in his sleep, is a middle-age murder mystery which has never really been solved. Some historians have tried to point out the Duke of South Jutland but no prove has been found.
