Sophie Amalie Lindenov

Sophie Amalie Lindenov, Baroness of Lindenborg (4 July 1649 – 4 August 1688) was a Danish noblewoman and landowner.

Her parents were Hans Lindenov, a nobleman of Bavarian origins who had been made a Knight of the Order of the Elephant in 1648 and was a member of the Danish Council of State, and Countess Elisabeth Augusta af Schleswig-Holstein, a morganatic daughter of King Christian IV of Denmark and Kirsten Munk.

Their only child, a son named Hans after his maternal grandfather, was born in Aalborg on 5 December 1677.

Now a very wealthy widow, she became famous for her extravagant lifestyle, living—it was said—"blindly according to passion, promiscuity and greed".

She received this title and fief suo jure on the condition that she not marry again and that she made the King's brother, Christian Gyldenløve (1674-1703), her heir.
