- {geni:occupation} Queen of Denmark, Drottning från 1252
{geni:about_me} '''Margaret Sambiria von Pommerellen''', Queen of Denmark
She was born around 1230 to duke Sambor II of the ruling Samborides family of Slavic (Wendish) Cassubians and his wife Mechtild of Mecklenburg. They held a lordship (then treated as duchy or principality) of Pomerelia.
Her paternal grandparents were Mestwin I (Mcisaw) of Pomerelia and his wife Swinislawa. Yet more interesting from Danish viewpoint were Margaret's maternal grandparents, who were Henry II of Mecklenburg, Prince of Rostock, and his wife Lady Kristina from Scania, who according to newest research was a daughter of the mighty Danish Galen clan, magnates in Eastern Denmark, and related with the Hvide clan of Zealand.
Margaret received her first name, then yet relatively rare in North Germany and Poland (Margaret is actually a Greek name) in honor of her maternal Scandinavian relations (where the name Margaret came in the late 11th century with the family of Inge I of Sweden), presumably of her aunt (countess of Schwerin) and great-aunt (princess of Rugia).
She was, in 1248, married to prince Christopher, the youngest son of Valdemar II of Denmark and Berengária 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 with him.
Her husband died on 29 May 1259 (rumored to have been poisoned). Their son and heir Eric V of Denmark was a minor and Margaret was made regent, a position she held until 1264.
Eric's succession overrode the rights of the descendants of earlier monarchs, counter to the dictates of agnatic seniority. However, since the reputations of the sons of Abel of Denmark were tainted by acts of fratricide and murder, it was relatively easy to ignore their claims to the throne. Even so, during his reign, Christopher I made sure that his own son succeeded. The accession of Christopher's son, Eric V led to serious rivalry for generations, yetChristopher's line was able to successfully retain their claim to the Danish throne.
Margaret quarreled with Jakob Erlendsen and her husband's nephew Eric Abelson, as well as with the counts of Holstein. After a loss in Lohede in 1261, Margaret, together with her son, the young Eric V were imprisoned by the Countof Holstein. They soon managed to escape with help from Albert of Brunswick.
In 1263, an unresolved rivalry between Eric V and the adherents of the former king of Denmark, Abel, forced Margaret to write Pope Urban IV, asking him to allow women to inherit the Danish throne. This would make it possible for one of Eric's sisters to become reigning Queen of Denmark in the event of Erik V's death (he had no children as of yet). Urban IV acquiesced.
In her own time, Margaret had a reputation as a competent and enlightened regent. Her nicknames, "Sprænghest" (Burst-horse) and "Sorte Grete," (Black Greta) reveal a strong-willed, energetic personality. She died in December 1282and was buried in the church of the Cistercian Doberan Abbey on the Baltic Sea coast of Germany.
Margaret and Christopher had three children:

TITEL: fyrstinde
Born as a Pommerian Princess, she was regent for her son Erik 5. Klipping after the death of her husband, Kristoffer I. She fought against the powerful Archbishop Jakob Erlandsen. In 1261 she and her son were taken prisoner in Germany. The next year she returned together with Albrecht of Braunshweig and Erlandsen left the country. She managed to persuade Pope to accept the idea of female succession to the Danish throne, though not to her daughters having succession-rights before male relatives in other lines. Estonia was her dowry which she controlled from Lolland-Falster another Dowry in the South of Denmark. She lived ca. (1230-81).
Efter Kristofers död 1259 styrde Margarethe Danmark för sin minderårige son, Erik V Klipping.
Drottningen fick tillnamnet "Spränghäst" och "Svarta Grete" på grund av sin viljestyrka och energi. Efter sin död 1282 begravdes hon i cisterciensernas kyrka i Doberan.
Margaret Sambiria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Margaret SambiriaMargaret 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 whichfollowed 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 sonsof 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.
Margrethe Sambiria, -1282, Dronning, var en Datter afden østpommerskeFyrste Sambor, Broder til Svantopolk den store; hendes Moder hedMechtilde og stammede fra Meklenborg. 1248 ægtede hun Valdemar Sejersyngste Søn, Christoffer, og1252 blev hun kronet sammen med ham.Ægteskabet omtales som særdeles lykkeligt, og hun fødte sin Mand flereBørn, deriblandt 3 Sønner, af hvilke dog kun Erik (Glipping) naaedeManddomsalder. Saa
længe Christoffer I levede, nævnes M. kun sjælden-, dog ses det, athun sammen med sin Fader har søgt at mægle mellem Kongen og ÆrkebispJacob Erlandsen. Efter sin Ægtefælles pludselige Død (29. Maj 1259)kom M. derimod til at spille den største Rolle, i det hun somFormynderske styrede for den kun naarige Erik. Ethvert Haab om atmodstaa de talrige Fjender, Christoffer havde rejst imod sig, faldttil Jorden, da de sjællandske Bønder ved
Næstved lede et knusende Nederlag over for Rygerfyrsten Jarimar, og M.maatte kjøbe Freden ved Indrømmelser til alle Sider; den fængsledeÆrkebisp frigaves, Erik Abelsøn blev forlenet med Sønderjylland. Snartslog M. atter ind paa den Politik, hendes afdøde
Mand havde fulgt; til Trods for Ærkebispens Indsigelse lod hun dejyske Bisper krone Erik i Viborg, og 1261 rykkede hun i Spidsen for enHær ind i Hertugdømmet. Hendes Fremgang var imidlertid kun kortvarig;Holstenerne kom til, og paa Lohede (28. Juli) sejrede de fuldstændigover de danske; den unge Konge og hans Moder faldt selv i FjendernesHænder. Nu viste M. sin ubøjelige Energi; fra sit Fængsel i Hamborgkaldte hun Albert af
Brunsvig (I, 167) til Hjælp; det lykkedes denne at faa Dronningenfrigivet, og i Forening vendte de tilbage til Danmark. Hertugen blevudnævnt til Rigets Forstander, og M. saa med Glæde, hvor voldsomt hanf6r frem mod Kongehusets Modstandere; hun skal endog selv, efter hvadder fortælles i den brunsvigske Rimkrønnike, have fattet Elskov tilden unge Hertug. 1263 forlod Albert igjen Danmark, men Aaret efterkunde M. i Steden hente sin egen Søn hjem, og 1266 blevdenne erklæretfor myndig.
Ved denne Tid fik M. for Livstid overladt Estland som Enkeeje; endnuvedblev hun dog længe at være den virkelig styrende i hele Riget, oghendes Energi skyldtes det vel, at Ærkebispestriden førtes til en retlykkelig Udgang, ligesomogsaa, at Hertugdømmet
efter Erik Abelsøns Død (1272) atter kom under Kronen. Senere træderhun mere tilbage, og endelig døde hun i Dec. 1282 under et Ophold iRostock; i det nærliggende Cistercienserabbedi i Doberan, hvortilallerede hendes Fader havde staaet i venligt Forhold, fandt hun sitsidste Hvilested, og her vises endnu en mærkelig Træ- statue af hende,der i sin Tid har dannet Dækpladen over hendes Sarkofag.
Til den Energi, M. udfoldede som Enke, svarer godt hendes TilnavnSprænghest; i Folkesagn kaldes hun ogsaa Sorte Grethe, men er herblandet sammen med sin store Navne, Margrethe Valdemarsdatter. Efternogles Mening skal det have været M., der har bygget den Del afDanevirke, som kaldes Margrethevolden, hvad der dog er lidet rimeligt.Til det hellige Korses Kloster i Rostock skjænkede M. noget Gods;snart efter hendes Død vidste man at fortælle, at det var hende, derhavde stiftet Klosteret og givet det en Splint af det hellige Kors,som hun personlig havde modtaget som Gave af Pavens Haand, og somunder Hjemrejsen havde reddet hende og hendes Følge i stor Havsnød;alt dette fremstilledes i et Dokument, der foregaves udstedt afDronningen selv, men hvis Uægthed maa anses for sikker.
