Existence of this daughter is based on unclear mentions in old saga and chronicle material, and is to an extent accepted in research literature, to explicate Knut Magnusson's hereditary claim to the throne. This daughter was by necessity born in the 1170s or 1180s. She is also proposed by old romantical-looking genealogies as mother of a duke's daughter, Cecilia Knutsdotter (by necessity born near 1208 at earliest), whose parentage however is fully shrouded in mists of history.

Despite the fact that she was queen for over twenty years, the queen consort of King Canute is one of the most unknown of
Swedish queens. Neither her name, her parents or her birth and death years are confirmed. Canute I stated in a letter to Pope
192:
She was betrothed, around 1160, with Canute
Eriksson of Sweden (King, 1167). The marriage was concluded in about 1167, but was (at least temporarily) dissolved when she was obliged to enter a convent in the 1190s (see above).
