Ulrica Eleanor of Denmark Oldenburg 1
Another name for Ulrica was Ulrikke Eleonora. General Notes: Charles XI's defeat of the Danes in 1678 led to the Treaty of Lund (1679), by which Denmark gave up its claim to Skåne. The alliance of the two nations in opposition to Dutch commercial influence in the Baltic was sealed by Charles XI's marriage to Ulrika Eleonora (1680), sister of King Christian V of Denmark. 3 Ulrica married Charles XI of Sweden von Simmern, son of Charles X Gustavus von Simmern and Hedwig Eleonora von Holstein-Gottorp, on 16 May 1680. (Charles XI of Sweden von Simmern was born on 4 Dec 1655 in Stockholm, Sweden and died in 1697.) |
