Margareta Nilsdotter

She was first married to Dutch born master shipbuilder Henrik Hybertsson (dead 1627) who was engaged to build the Vasa in 1625.

When she was widowed in 1627, she took over the share of her late spouse and the responsibility to complete the building of the Vasa, a task she fulfilled the following year.

She inherited responsibility for completion of the contract, but while she was an accomplished businesswoman in her own right and had responsibility for the management of the rural estates which provided part of the family's income, she was not a shipbuilder.

Aside from the Vasa, she was also more successfully involved in business as the owner of the estate Viby herrgård in Sollentuna.

[6] She retired to the Viby estate and married the Swedish envoy to France, diplomat and nobleman Lars Nilsson Tungel (1582-1633).
