Anna Andersdotter

Anna Andersdotter (floruit 1598), was a Swedish noble, married to the Jöran Persson, the adviser of King Eric XIV of Sweden.

During the process against him, Anna was accused of having planted the rumor that Karin had used witchcraft to make the king fall in love with her, thereby causing him to become insane by the magic.

In 1563, she became the caretaker of the illegitimate children of the king's brother Duke John when he was imprisoned, Julius and Sofia Gyllenhielm.

Anna Andersdotter and her three children were given refuge and protection against persecution by the king's brother, Duke Charles.

Her date of death is not recorded, but she is last mentioned alive in 1598, thirty years after the fall of Jöran Persson.
