Kaya Alp
Kaya Alp was, according to Ottoman tradition, the son of Kızıl Buğa and the father of Suleyman Shah, who was, in turn, the grandfather of Ertuğrul, and the great grandfather of the Ottoman Empire founder, Osman I.
Hedvig Sophia of Sweden
Hedvig Sophia Augusta of Sweden (26 June 1681 – 22 December 1708), Duchess of Holstein-Gottorp, was the eldest child of Charles XI of Sweden and Ulrike Eleonore of Denmark.
She was heir presumptive to the Swedish throne until her death and the regent of the duchy of Holstein-Gottorp for her minor son from 1702 to 1708.
Some sources refer to her as Sofia.
Beata Magdalena Wittenberg
Beata Magdalena Wittenberg (1644-1705), was a Swedish courtier.
She was the daughter of count Arvid Wittenberg and Eva Margareta von Langen, and married riksråd baron Henrik Horn in 1674.
In 1675, her spouse assigned her with a diplomatic mission to Hamburg.
Her task was to secure the link between Sweden and its diplomats in Paris and London in connection to ongoing transfer of funds, and to secure the food-transport to the city of Stade, which was not yet conquered by Sweden and at the time besieged by Horn and the Swedish army.
Reportedly, she developed "an activity worthy of respect on this post and managed to secure both funds and supplies to the disposition of her spouse".
She was widowed in 1693.
In 1698, she followed Hedvig Sophia of Sweden to Gottorp after her marriage to Frederick IV, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, and acted as her chief lady in waiting or Mistress of the Robes.
During Hedvig Sophia's stay in Gottorp, Frederick regularly visited his lovers in Hamburg and also brought some of them to Gottorp.
Wittenberg took the side of Hedvig Sophia and became involved in a physical argument with a male courtier who acted as the pimp of Frederick, an argument which ended with Wittenberg losing her wig and Hedvig Sophia's demand to return to Sweden.
Hedwig Sophia and Beata Magdalena Wittenberg did return to Sweden not long after.
Juliana Schierberg
Juliana Sophia Schierberg, known as "Julianchen" (died 1712) was a Swedish favorite.
She was the personal chamber maid and influential confidante of Princess Hedvig Sophia of Sweden and known for her influence and political activity.
Juliana Schierberg was employed as a chamber maid to Queen Ulrika Eleonora in 1681, and was given the same position to the eldest Princess, Hedvig Sophia, upon the death of the queen in 1693.
She had a similar position with Hedvig Sophia as Emerentia von Düben had with the younger Princess, Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden, and acted as the political adviser of the Princess.
Various foreign diplomats contributed the fact that the marriage alliance between Denmark and Sweden, which was to take place with a marriage between Hedvig Sophia and Prince Charles of Denmark and Charles XII of Sweden and Princess Sophia Hedwig of Denmark, did not take place, was because of her influence, as was that the fact Hedvig Sophia did not marry William III of England but the Duke of Holstein in 1698.
In 1702, she played the same important part in the marriage negotiations regarding the expected new marriage of Hedvig Sophia after her widowhood.
Juliana Schierberg reportedly accepted bribes and had a net of spies to work for the benefit of the Princess, and influential people unsuccessfully tried to have her removed from court because of her influence.
In 1708, a party consisting of Fritze, a favorite servant of Hedvig Sophia, and the two ladies-in-waiting Maria Horn and Charlotta von Liewen tried to have her removed from court by saying to the Princess that Schierberg had become senile, but as Schierberg as a chamber maid slept in the same room as the Princess and had access to her all the time this did not succeed.
In 1708, Hedvig Sophia died of smallpox.
Gossip accused Schierberg to have caused her death by exposing her to superstitious medical treatments and letting no one in to the sickbed of the Princess except Maria Horn, neither the överhovmästarinna Märta Berendes nor the doctor.
Juliana Schierberg retired with a fortune after the death of Hedvig Sophia, which is proven by the fact that she was able to donate a great sum to finance the Great Nordic War in 1710.
Peter III of Russia
Peter III  ("Pyotr III Fyodorovich") was Emperor of Russia for six months in 1762.
He was born in Kiel as Charles Peter Ulrich of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp , the only child of Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp (the son of Hedvig Sophia of Sweden, sister of Charles XII), and Anna Petrovna (the elder surviving daughter of Peter the Great).
The German Peter could hardly speak Russian and pursued a strongly pro-Prussian policy, which made him an unpopular leader.
He was deposed and possibly assassinated as a result of a conspiracy led by his German wife, Princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, who succeeded him to the throne as Catherine II.
However, another theory is he died as a result of a drunken brawl with his bodyguard while he was being held captive after Catherine's coup.
Despite his generally poor reputation, Peter made some progressive reforms during his short reign.
He proclaimed religious freedom (a very enlightened move for the time) and encouraged education.
He sought to modernize the Russian army.
He abolished the secret police, which had been infamous for its extreme violence, and made it illegal for landowners to kill their serfs without going to court.
Catherine adopted some of his reforms and reverted others.
Charles XI of Sweden
Charles XI, also Carl  (24 November 1655 – 5 April 1697 OS) was King of Sweden from 1660 until his death, in a period of Swedish history known as the Swedish Empire (1611–1718).
He was the only son of King Charles X Gustav of Sweden and Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp.
His father died when he was four years old, so Charles was educated by his governors until his coronation at the age of seventeen.
Soon afterward, he was forced out on military expeditions to secure the recently acquired dominions from Danish troops in the Scanian War.
Having successfully fought off the Danes, he returned to Stockholm and engaged in correcting the country's neglected political, financial, and economic situation.
He managed to sustain peace during the remaining 20 years of his reign.
Changes in finance, commerce, national maritime and land armaments, judicial procedure, church government, and education emerged during this period.
Charles XI was succeeded by his only son Charles XII, who made use of the well-trained army in battles throughout Europe.
The fact that Charles was crowned as Charles XI does not mean that he was the 11th king of Sweden who had the name Charles.
His father's name (as the 10th) was due to his great-grandfather, King Charles IX of Sweden (1604–1611), having adopted his own numeral by using a mythological History of Sweden.
This ancestor was actually the 5th King Charles.
The numbering tradition thus begun still continues, with the present king of Sweden being Carl XVI Gustaf.
Sophia of Denmark
Sophia of Denmark( Danish:" Sofie Eriksdatter" and Swedish:" Sofia Eriksdotter"; 1241–1286) was Queen consort of Sweden by marriage to King Valdemar of Sweden.
Sophia of Nassau
Sophia of Nassau( Sophia Wilhelmine Marianne Henriette,; 9 July 1836 – 30 December 1913) was Queen consort of Sweden and Norway.
Sophia was Queen of Sweden for 35 years, longer than anyone before her.
She was the longest- serving queen until 2011, when she was surpassed by Queen Silvia.
She is also the most recent woman to have been officially Dowager Queen of Sweden.
