Richeza of Poland〔Also named Swantosława according to some sources. 〕 ((ポーランド語:Ryksa Bolesławówna), (スウェーデン語:Rikissa Burislevsdotter); 12 April 1116 – after 25 December 1156), a member of the House of Piast, was queen of Sweden and princess of Minsk through her three marriages. Richeza was the daughter of Bolesław III Wrymouth, Duke of Poland, by his second wife, Salomea of Berg. Tradition describes her as unusually beautiful. ==First Marriage== The Polish ruler Bolesław III Wrymouth entered in an alliance with King Niels of Denmark against Wartislaw I, Duke of Pomerania (now in northwestern Poland and northeastern Germany). In order to seal this alliance, a marriage was arranged between Bolesław III's daughter Richeza with Niels' eldest son, Crown Prince Magnus. The wedding took place around 1127. Richeza bore her husband two sons: Knud in 1129 and Niels in 1130.〔Hans Gillingstam: ''Rikissa'' (): ''Svenskt biografiskt lexikon band 30'', 2000.〕 As one of the heirs of his maternal grandfather King Inge I, Magnus claimed Sweden and was recognized King of Västergötland by the Geats (''Göter'') in 1129 after the death of his uncle King Inge II. Then Richeza became Queen consort of Sweden. However, Magnus' rule was not accepted by the Swea, another tribe to the north of the Geats, who vetoed him and elected Ragnvald Knaphövde as the new King. According to Saxo Grammaticus, Ragnvald was murdered by supporters of Magnus, who then won the realm ("imperium") as King of Sweden. However, there soon appeared another contender for the throne, Sverker I, who was proclaimed King of Östergötland. In 1130 Sverker I finally expelled Magnus from Västergötland and unified the country under his rule. Richeza and her husband returned to Denmark. Alarmed by the popularity and Imperial support of his cousin Knud ''Lavard'', Duke of Schleswig, both Magnus and his father King Niels ordered him murdered (7 January 1131). Knud's half-brother Erik rebelled against Niels and Magnus, but was defeated and took refuge in Norway, where he convinced the local nobility and the Holy Roman Emperor Lothair III to launch a retaliatory expedition against Niels. Niels was defeated in the Battle of Fotevik (4 June 1134), and also lost his son Magnus who was slain during the battle. Niels escaped to Schleswig, where he was killed by the citizens (25 June 1134). Now a widow, Richeza returned to Poland, apparently leaving her two sons behind in Denmark. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richeza of Poland, Queen of Sweden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
