- Leonora Christina, Countess Ulfeldt, was born in Copenhagen, a the daughter of King Christian IV of Denmark and and Kirstine Munk. his morganatic second wife. In 1636, at age 15, she was married to Count Corfits Ulfeldt, the prime minister of Denmark, who was twice her age, and they had 10 children. In 1651, the count was accused of treason, and Leonora became a fugitive with him. They were arrested and, although her husband escaped, she was imprisoned under the harshest conditions in the Blue Tower for 22 years. She is considered a national cultural heroine for her fate and for her autobiography, Jammers Minde (A Memory of Lament), written secretly during her solitary confinement and first published posthumously in 1869. Leonora also wrote an account of her happy youth, Den Franscke Selvbiografi (The French Autobiography), completed in 1673 and also smuggled out of the Blue Tower.
