Helvig of Holstein (also known as Hedwig;[1] c. 1259 – c. 1325) was Queen of Sweden as the consort of King Magnus Ladulås.

Helvig's years of birth and death are only approximately known, but she is believed to have been born in early 1260s.

[3] Her father was captured during the Folkunge party revolt (Folkungaupproret) by rebellious noblemen in Skara in 1278 and the queen was also targeted.

She took a prominent part in processions which accompanied the inauguration of bishops, celebrations of a feast day and the installation of relics, such as the Mass for Saint Erik in 1277.

[6] After the death of her spouse in 1290, Helvig acted as one of the executors of the will of the King, and withdrew to her estate Dåvö in Västmanland, which had been given to her as dower.

During this investigation, two female skeletons were found and were initially identified as Queen Helvig and her daughter Rikissa.

[12][13] This has been attributed to the influence of a namesake (in German), the daughter of Gerhard VI and the mother of Christian I, who came to be known in Swedish as Hedvig of Holstein (Danish: Hedevig).
