Lucretia Johansdotter Gyllenhielm (1561–1585), was the illegitimate daughter of John III of Sweden and Karin Hansdotter. She was reportedly the favorite of her father.[1]
Biography
Lucretia Gyllenhielm and her siblings were ennobled and granted the surname Gyllenhielm in 1577, though she and her sister often used only their patronymic.[2][3]
Lucretia was the favorite of her father. She was betrothed to the nobleman Karl Gustafsson Stenbock. [4] When she died unmarried in 1585 at the age of 24, her father the king became distraught and issued an investigation if she had died as the result of witchcraft.[5] Karl Gustafsson Stenbock accused the noblewoman Kerstin Gabrielsdotter Ulfsax, wife of Joen Nilsson (1536-1600). She was rumored to have murdered her late spouse and of having bewitched Lucretia.[6][7] Ulfsax was arrested, and after having failed to collect twelve female nobles as character witnesses, she was executed.[8]
