Everything about Rikissa Of Poland totally explained
Rikissa of Poland (b.
1116 d. after
25 December 1156), was queen in Sweden and grand princess of Minsk. She was a daughter of king
Boleslaw III of Poland and
Salome von Berg-Schelklingen. Married three times, to Viking-originated rulers in two countries.
Biography
Her first marriage was with
Magnus the Strong who was the son of King
Niels of Denmark and a grandson of king
Inge I of Sweden. Magnus died before his father and therefore didn't succeed in Denmark, but as one of the heirs of his Swedish grandfather's extinct dynasty, he claimed Sweden and was recognized King in Gothenland whereby some sources dub him as king of Västergötland. Their marriage produced a son,
Canute V of Denmark.
Secondly, she married
Grand Duke Volodar of Minsk, a ruler of Viking origin as most of Rus princes then were. Their marriage produced, in addition to two sons, a daughter
Sofia of Minsk whom her half-brother Knud had married to his rival, the future
Valdemar I of Denmark.
Thirdly, she married the widowed king
Sverker I of Sweden, earlier a rival of her first husband. Certainly one son was born from this marriage,
Burislav Sverkersson; but the chronicles assign
Sune Sik Sverkersson as another son from Rikissa and Sverker, possibly the youngest.
