Christina Abrahamsdotter

[1][2] The parentage of Christina Abrahamsdotter is not known, but she is believed to have been the daughter of Abraham Pedersson, governor of Raseborg.

When Charles returned to Sweden in 1464 and reclaimed the Swedish throne, she followed him there as royal mistress.

By the marriage, Christina and her son, also named Karl, were intended to receive legitimacy and inheritance.

Bishop Henrik Tidemansson of Linköping wrote a poem to illustrate the contemporary controversy over the marriage, where he stated that the marriage took place against the royal council and caused a great hatred toward King Charles because he was considered to have made a bad example.

Christina was the only royal mistress in Sweden to have become queen alongside Karin Månsdotter (1568).

Christina's name as recorded by a member of the Stockholm guild Helga Lekamen , confirming her as queen in 1470
