Marta Liungberg (''modern spelling:'' Märta Ljungberg) (1656–1741), was a Swedish innkeeper. She managed the important inn at Ljungby in Sunnerbo. She was also a successful farmer, who acquired many of the farms around the area of the inn.

Before the inn Märta Ljungberg grew up on ''Ljungby Gård'' (English: ''Ljungby Farm'') together with her parents and six siblings. She was daughter to '' frälseinspektor'' and innkeeper Lars Svensson Frimolin and his wife Margareta Larsdotter.

Ulrika Eleonora, Queen Of Sweden
Ulrika Eleonora or Ulrica Eleanor (23 January 1688 – 24 November 1741), known as Ulrika Eleonora the Younger, was Queen of Sweden, reigning in her own right from 5 December 1718 until her abdication on 29 February 1720 in favour of her husband King Frederick, and then as his consort until her death. She was the youngest child of King Charles XI and Ulrika Eleonora of Denmark and named after her mother. After the death of her brother King Charles XII in 1718, she claimed the throne. Her deceased older sister, Hedvig Sophia, had left a son, Charles Frederick of Holstein-Gottorp, who had the better claim by primogeniture. Ulrika Eleonora asserted that she was the ''closest'' surviving relative of the late king (the idea of proximity of blood) and cited the precedent of Queen Christina. She was recognized as successor by the Riksdag after she had agreed to renounce the powers of absolute monarchy established by her father. She abdicated in 1720 in favor of her husband, Landgra ...

Sofia Drake
Sofia Drake of Torp and Hamra (1662-16 September 1741), was a Swedish landowner. She is known for her correspondence with her spouse, Lieutenant Colonel Jon Stålhammar, during his absence in the Great Northern War, and as the ''Frun på Salshult'' (The lady of Salshult) in the 1886 poem by Carl Snoilsky of the same name. Life Sofia Drake was born to Colonel Johan Christersson Drake of Torp and Hamra and Margareta Klingspor. She married Lieutenant Colonel Jon Stålhammar (1659-1708) in 1689, and became the mother of seven children. As was the custom in Sweden until the late 18th-century, she kept her birth name after marriage. Their families both belonged to the lesser nobility, but were well off.

Judging from their correspondence, their marriage did not seem to be an arranged marria ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
