Birgitta

/ bɪəˈɡɪtə /

Birgitta, the wife of Johan Kristersson, is said to have been descended from the ancient Swedish kings.

Birgitta was the greatest political-poetic genius of the medival North.

Birgitta was canonized by the pope in 1391, through the influence of Queen Margaret.

St. Birgitta has by some been considered as a reformer before Luther, but not quite correctly.
