      ; Per Wikipedia:
     "Eric III Lamb (Danish: Erik III Lam, c.?1120 – 27 August 1146) was the King of Denmark from 1137 until 1146. He was the grandson of Eric I of Denmark and the nephew of Eric II of Denmark, whom he succeeded on the throne. He abdicated in 1146, as the first and only Danish monarch to do so. His succession led to a period of civil war between Sweyn III, Canute V, and Valdemar I.
Biography
     "Eric was born on Funen. His mother was Ragnhild, the daughter of King Eric I,[1] and his father the nobleman Hakon Sunnivasson, a great-grandson of King Magnus the Good of Norway and Denmark.[3] Eric was the nephew of Eric II of Denmark, fighting for him at the decisive Battle of Fotevik in 1134,[4] and succeeded Eric II to the throne when he was murdered in 1137. Not much is known of Eric's kingship.[2] Contemporary chroniclers highly disagree about the personality of this king, and he portrayed both as a passive and irresolute man, as well as an eager and brave fighter.[5]
     "Eric had to fight for his kingship against his cousin Olaf Haraldsen, sometimes called Olaf II. Olaf established a base of power in Scania in 1139 and tried to conquer the throne from there, until Eric defeated and killed him in 1141 near Helsingborg. During the civil wars, the Wends raided the Danish coasts and sounds without much Danish resistance. Eric supported Magnus the Blind and Sigurd Slembe in the Norwegian civil war.[4] He worked to aggrandize the church, especially St. Canute's Abbey in Odense,[2] and had a close relationship with bishop Eskil of Roskilde.[4]
     "In 1143, he married Lutgard of Salzwedel, daughter of Rudolf I, Margrave of the Nordmark.[4] Eric and Lutgard were married by Rudolf's son Hartwig, then Provost of Bremen Cathedral, in 1143 or 1144.[citation needed]
     "In 1146, Eric abdicated, as the only Danish king in history,[2] for unknown reasons. He entered St. Canute's Abbey where he died there on 27 August 1146, and was buried at the cloister.[4][2] His abdication has been explained as being rooted either in his realization of his inability to govern,[5] or an illness which ultimately killed him.[4]
Legacy
     "His nickname "Lam" means "lamb". This is taken to either reference the Lamb of God as he was seen as a pious man,[1] as describing his mildhearted and generous nature,[4] or indicating a weak and soft king.[5] He married Lutgard of Salzwedel in 1144, which indicated an increasing German influence on Denmark. He and Lutgard did not have any children, though Eric fathered a son, Magnus, out of wedlock. After Eric died, Lutgard married Herman II of Winzenburg.[5]

     "Liutgard was born about 1110, the daughter of Graf Rudolf I von Stade and Richardis, daughter of Hermann, Burggraf von Magdeburg. She first married Friedrich II, Pfalzgraf von Sommerschenburg, son of Friedrich von Sommerschenburg, Pfalzgraf von Sachsen, and Adelheid von Laufen. They had a son and two daughters but only their daughter Sophie would have progeny, marrying Hermann I, Landgraf von Thüringen. Friedrich and Liutgard were divorced in 1142 on grounds of consanguinity.
     "In 1144 Liutgard married Erik III Lam, king of Denmark, who hoped through this match to build closer relations with the Germans. They did not have progeny and he died in 1146. She then married Hermann II, Graf von Winzenburg, whose wife Elisabeth von Österreich, daughter of Leopold III von Österreich, had died in childbirth in 1143, though some sources state that he had divorced Elisabeth in order to marry Liutgard. Hermann was one of the richest, most powerful lords in the land, but he was widely hated for his overbearing rule, as was Liutgard. On 30 January 1152 they were both murdered by officials of the church of Hildesheim who broke into the castle of Winzenburg and stole its treasure, valued at 6000 pounds of silver. Hermann left no male heirs, and his castles and estates were taken by Heinrich 'the Lion', Herzog von Sachsen, over the claims of Albrecht 'the Bear', Herzog von Sachsen."³ Luitgard (?) von Stade was also known as Lutgard (?) of Salzwedel.⁵

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Lutgard of Salzwedel or Liutgard/Luitgard of Stade, (b. c.?1110, murdered 1152) was Queen of Denmark as the wife of King Eric III.
Life
     "Lutgard was born to Richardis, Countess of Sponheim-Lavanttal, and Count Rudolf I of Stade and Ditmarsh (d. 1124), Margrave of the Northern March, seated in Salzwedel. Lutgard's paternal grandfather was Margrave Lothair Udo II (of the Udonids, German: Udonen). After the death of her father she lived at her mother's estates near Jerichow. Married to her uncle Frederick II, Count of Sommerschenburg (c.?1095 – 19 May 1162), Count Palatine of Saxony as Frederick VI (since 1120), she had four children with him, but was forced to divorce him - on the grounds of prohibited degree of relation - by 1142.
     "Her brother Hartwig, Count of Stade, provost at Bremen Cathedral since 1143, married her to Eric of Denmark in 1143 or 1144. With the death of her elder, childless brother Count Rudolf II of Stade and Freckleben in 1144, Lutgard and her children became the eventual heirs of the County of Stade, since her younger, inheriting brother, Hartwig, was childless too. However, in 1148 Hartwig stipulated with the cathedral chapter his election as Archbishop of Bremen in return for his bequest of the county to the archdiocese on his death, thus disinheriting Lutgard's children. As queen, she was criticized for being promiscuous and for influencing her spouse to waste money. She separated from her spouse after she was accused of adultery and exiled to the Holy Roman Empire.
     "As a widow, she became the second wife of the widowed Count Herman II of Winzenburg-Northeim in 1148, and had three more daughters with him. Ministeriales of Bernard of Rothenburg, Bishop of Hildesheim, eventually at his instigation, murdered Count Herman, who was violent and ambitious to seize further territories, and the pregnant Lutgard in Winzenburg in the night between 29 and 30 January 1152. The murderers further robbed their treasury of 6,000 pound in silver.
Issue
     "With Frederick II of Sommerschenburg she had four children:
** Albert (Adalbert), Count Palatine of Sommerschenburg (ca. 1130–15 January or 17 March 1179)
** Adelheid (d. 1 May 1184), Princess-Abbess of Gandersheim Abbey (1152/53–1184) and Quedlinburg Abbey (1161–1184)

      ; per van de Pas: [quote]Even though she was queen of Denmark, Jutta von Sachsen is quite obscure.
Hardly any details are known about her life (any additions?).

Still she is an ancestor of Andrew MacEwen and Tim Powys-Lybbe, Sarah
Ferguson, Camilla the duchess of Cornwall, Mike d'Abo, Hugh Grant, Brooke
Shields, Boris Johnson lord mayor of London, Aga Khan IV and Lawrence of
Arabia.

Also of several gateway ancestors : Thomas Hamilton, Lady Christina Stewart,
John Orr, Donald macgregor otherwise Drummond, Colin Campbell, James Irving,
Sarah Blair, Samuel Mackay, James Cuthbert and most likely more.

Jutta was the daughter of Albrecht I, Herzog von
Sachsen, and Agnes of Austria. On 17 November
1239 she married Erik IV-VI 'Plovpenning', king
of Denmark, son of Valdemar II Sejr, king of
Denmark, and Princess Berengária of Portugal. She
became queen consort in 1242. They had six
children of whom three daughters, Sophie,
Ingeborg and Jutta, would have progeny. Sophie
married Valdemar Birgersson, king of Sweden, and
Ingeborg married Magnus IV 'Lagabote', king of
Norway. Jutta did not marry, but had a son with
Valdemar Birgersson, king of Sweden.

Not many details are known about Jutta. She was
involved in a conflict with the monks of Øm
Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1172 in
the diocese of Aarhus near the town of Rye in
central Jutland. She confiscated corn from its
estates and shipped it to her own. Her signature
was also on the instruction regarding the funeral
service of her spouse, in which he expressed the
wish to be buried in the clothes of a monk. She
was queen for eight years and widowed in 1250 when her spouse was murdered.

Jutta married a second time, becoming the first
wife of Burkhard VII von Rosenberg, who held the
function and title of Burgrave of Magdeburg
(recorded between 1273 and 1313), a son of
Burgrave Burkhard VI (recorded between 1221 and
1273). With Burkhard VII she had a daughter
Sophia who married Erik Erikssøn Langben
(1272-1310), duke of Langeland, a son of Erik I
Abelsen, duke of Sonderjylland. No
progeny is recorded from Sophia's marriage.

Jutta died about 1250.[end quote]³
