Valdemar Magnusson

Valdemar Magnusson (c. 1285 – 1318) was a Swedish prince, heir to the throne of Sweden, and the duke of Finland.

[2] Valdemar married Kristina Torgilsdotter, daughter of Torgils Knutsson, who was the constable and virtual ruler of Sweden during King Birger's early reign.

Valdemar subsequently divorced his wife, claiming that they were spiritually related (baptism siblings) because Torkel was his godfather.

On 16 April 1318, the two duchesses entered into a treaty in Kalmar with Esger Juul, Archbishop of Lund and Christopher, brother of Eric VI of Denmark and Duke of Halland-Samsötreaty, to free their husbands.
