Little Agda and Olof the Silent : ウィキペディア英語版 | Little Agda and Olof the Silent Little Agda and Olof the Silent (Swedish: ''Liten Agda och Olof Tyste'') (fl. 1526), refers to a legend about a young couple in Sweden between the very first years of King Gustav Vasa (1523) and the last years of before the Lutheran Reformation (1527). The title Liten Agda och Olof Tyste translates literally as: ''Little Agda and Olof the Silent''. The title Agda Michelsdotter translates literally as: ''Agda, Michel's daughter''; Olof is her boyfriend. After being kept from Olof by her father, she joins the Vadstena Abbey, a convent, instead of marrying a wealthy nobleman. She escapes from the convent and elopes with Olof, banished by the Church until the King grants the couple a reprieve. Their story was told in ''Förr och nu i Wadstena'' (Past and present in Vadstena) by Constans Pontin.〔http://books.google.de/books/about/F%C3%B6rr_och_nu_i_Wadstena.html?id=l8jzGgAACAAJ〕 It bears similarities to the fate of Ingeborg Jönsdotter (d. 1524), a merchant's daughter from Vadstena who was forced to enter the same convent in 1495 after a love affair with a young noble.〔(Wilhelimna Stålberg ): ''Anteqningar om svenska qvinnor'' (Notes on Swedish women) (in Swedish)〕 ==Background== According to the legend, Agda was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, Michel (or Mickel), in the city of Vadstena. She was in love with a young boy, Olof, who was turned away by her father. The sorrow of losing Agda made Olof sad and detached, and he became known as ''Olof Tyste'', meaning Olof the Quite One or Olof the Silent. Michel presented Agda to a wealthy man and told her to either marry him or enter a convent; she chose to enter the Vadstena Abbey of Saint Bridget. This was not at all to her father's liking, as he had expected her to choose marriage, but, as it says in the legend, "he had offered her a choice; and she had chosen"〔 She entered the convent as a novice, a beginning student of the Church.
