Valdemar Sejr and his family

[Voy]

Found that King Valdemar II of Denmark isn't properly linked to his historical wives and his children got some errors and at least two are missing.

Valdemar married firstly princess Markéta Premyslid in 1205. She died c. 1212 and he then married Berengaria de Bourgogne in 1214.

When Berengária's brother Fernando married and moved to Flanders and her father died, she went with him to the French court where she met with the Queen who happened to be King Valdemar II's sister who shipped them together. I've put Fernando's wife as her employer in 1212. Berengária was known for being very beautiful by several sources. Apparently some investigation of her grave in the late 19th century confirmed that she was indeed very beautiful and I think she should have the Attractive trait.

These are Valdemar's children he got with Berengária, but they lacked a mother in game so I fixed it to be Berengària. The daughter died in 2 November 1247 and I fixed the month.

One of Valdemar's illegitimate children is Knud. He should have the Legitimate Bastard trait since Scandinavian bastards was accepted children of the father and electable kings. There is a little debate regarding his birth date: the sources I've looked up says 1205 and 1211 as possible dates, but in game his mother is 40 years old by 1202 so 1200 is fine for now if you don't come up with a solution of any kind.

	1231.11.28={
		death="1231.11.28"
	}
}

Valdemar's first legitimate son was born in 1209 to his first wife. He married Leonora de Bourgogne, Berengária's niece, in 24 June 1228. He was accidentally shot whilst out hunting and died out of the injury the same day. He was described as kind and thus I think he should have the Kind trait.

Damn. I got ninjad by the 1.08 patch change log, which released one minute later after I posted this... But still you may find some of it useful e.g. traits, deathdates, employers and wikipages.

Thanks for the wiki-links though.

You also forgot to add the legit_bastard trait to Niels, not that it matters anymore

 

[Voy]

Yeah I noticed. Could you also report this wiki-link? It's Saint Birgitta and she does exist in game, but without a wiki-link.
