Magnus the Good
Magnus Olafsson (Old Norse: "Magnús Óláfsson", Norwegian and Danish: "Magnus Olavsson"; c. 1024 – 25 October 1047), better known as Magnus the Good
(Old Norse: "Magnús góði", Norwegian and Danish: "Magnus den gode"), was the King of Norway from 1035 and King of Denmark from 1042, ruling over both countries until his death in 1047.
He was an illegitimate son of Olaf II of Norway, but fled with his mother when his father was dethroned in 1028.
He returned to Norway in 1035 and was crowned king at the age of 11.
In 1042, he was also crowned king of Denmark.
Magnus ruled the two countries until 1047, when he died under unclear circumstances.
After his death, his kingdom was split between Harald Hardrada in Norway and Sweyn Estridsson in Denmark.

Olaf II of Norway
Olaf II Haraldsson (c. 995 – 29 July 1030), later known as St. Olaf (and traditionally as St. Olave), was King of Norway from 1015 to 1028.
He was posthumously given the title "Rex Perpetuus Norvegiae"  and canonised at Nidaros (Trondheim) by Bishop Grimkell, one year after his death in the Battle of Stiklestad on 29 July 1030.
His remains were enshrined in Nidaros Cathedral, built over his burial site.
His sainthood encouraged the widespread adoption of the Christian religion among the Vikings / Norsemen in Scandinavia.
Olaf's local canonisation was in 1164 confirmed by Pope Alexander III, making him a universally recognised saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
He became an equally important saint of the Eastern Orthodox Church (feast day 29 July) and one of the last famous saints before the Great Schism.
Following the reformation he was a commemorated historical figure among some members of the Lutheran and Anglican Communions.
The saga of Olav Haraldsson and the legend of Olaf
the Saint became central to a national identity.
Especially during the period of Romantic Nationalism, Olaf was a symbol of Norwegian independence and pride.
Saint Olaf is symbolised by the axe in Norway's coat of arms and Olsok (29 July)
is still his day of celebration.
Many Christian institutions with Scandinavian links as well as Norway's Order of St. Olav are named after him.

Valborg Eriksdotter( 1545- 1580), was the royal mistress of Magnus, Duke of Östergötland, between 1560 and 1567.
She was the only official mistress of Magnus with the exception of Anna von Haugwitz.
She was the mother of the acknowledged illegitimate daughter of Magnus, Lucretia Magnusdotter( Gyllenhielm).
Valborg Eriksdotter background is unconfirmed, but she is believed to be the daughter of a vicar.
It is noted that she could read and write, which was not common at the time.
She became the official mistress of Magnus in 1560, and followed him to Vadstena when he left court to reside at Vadstena Castle as duke of Ostrogothia.
In 1563, Magnus became mentally ill, and his brother, Eric XIV of Sweden, gave her many gifts to make her stay with Magnus during his illness.
She demanded, and was granted, an entire private floor as residence for her and her children at Vadstena Castle.
She also visited the court at Stockholm, and she is believed to be the unidentified royal mistress who were mentioned as a friend of Karin Månsdotter during the Sture Murders in 1567.
She was still the mistress of Magnus at Nyköping Castle the autumn of 1567, but by November, the relationship seem to have been terminated.
Valborg Eriksdotter married by autumn 1567 a" Master Hans" who is otherwise unidentified.
It is noted that she visited Magnus during late 1567, and that she, by all accounts, was regarded to have a good effect upon him.
She became a widow the autumn of 1568 and was awarded several estates which provided her with a good income by king John III.
She married shortly afterward with an unidentified man, believed to have been a nobleman or an officer.
She died on one of her estates in 1580, likely of the plague which was present in Sweden at that year.
