ORIGINAL NAME: Magdalena Karlsdotter

Swedish princess,. She was the third daughter, the second in his second marriage, of King Carll II and of the Bonde Dynasty. Her birth year and the exact date of her death are estimates. She was Princess of Sweden during her father's three periods on that throne and also of Norway during the brief reign of her parents there. She married powerful Swedish magnate Ivar Axelson Tott in 1466. They had only one child, a daughter who died at age 6. With her father's promise that her husband would succeed him, she became a pawn of intrigue when other noblemen tried to unseat and incarcerate her father and imprisoned her instead. When released she and her husband settled in Gotland until 1487 when they were forced away by King John II, her husband dying soon after that. She then retired to her Bosgård Estate near Söderköping. She was the only one of King Carl's nine offspring to survive him when he died in 1470.
