EspañolMARGARET OF SWEDEN, QUEEN OF NORWAY
'Margaret', Queen of Norway (d. 1209), also known as ''Margareta Eriksdotter'', queen consort of Sverre of Norway, was the daughter of the Swedish king Eric the Saint and Christina Bjornsdatter.
In 1189, she married the Norwegian king Sverre. After his death, she retired to her estates in Västergötland and Värmland, but was forced to leave her daughter Kristina Sverresdotter behind in Norway.
On January 1 1204, two days after she had returned to Norway, her step-son, King Haakon Sverresson, died with obvious symptoms of poisoning. Margareta became a suspect of the crime, and one of her servants tried to prove her innocence in a trial by ordeal, which failed. The servant was drowned and Margareta fled back to Sweden. She was back in Norway in 1209, when her daughter married Filip Simonsson, the king of the Bagler.
