Blotstulka
Blotstulka, or Blot-Tulca, (11th century) is a name known in legend for an alleged Swedish medieval queen consort, spouse of a King "Blot-Sweyn" of Sweden who may have reigned in the 1080s. The name can be seen as the equivalent to that of her spouse, with the meaning: "The Woman Sacrificer" or "The Maiden Sacrificer"; as her spouse's name was "Sweyn the Sacrificer", which can also be translated as "The Man Who Performs the Sacrifices".
Estrid

This Estrid was the maternal grandmother of the chieftain Jarlabanke of the Jarlabanke clan. The family were rich landowners and belonged to the higher echelons of Swedish society. Her family saga has been the centre of a dramatisation at the Stockholm County Museum.
Świętosława
"Świętosława" is a name that was used in the past by historians to refer to a Polish princess who was the daughter of Mieszko I of Poland, sister to Bolesław I of Poland, and purported wife of two Scandinavian kings. Modern research suggests it was likely not her name, and that she was only a wife to one of aforementioned kings, Sweyn Forkbeard.
