Biography
Lucretia Johansdotter was a member of the aristocracy in Europe.
Lucretia Johansdotter Gyllenhielm (1561–1585), was the illegitimate daughter of John III of Sweden and Karin Hansdotter.
Lucretia Gyllenhielm and her siblings were ennobled in 1577 and granted the surname Gyllenhielm, but she and her sister often used only their patronymic Johansdotter.
Lucretia was her father's favorite. She was betrothed to the nobleman Karl Gustafsson Stenbock. When she died unmarried in 1585 at the age of 24, her father the king became distraught and issued an investigation if she had died as the result of witchcraft. Karl Gustafsson Stenbock accused the noblewoman Kerstin Gabrielsdotter Ulfsax, wife of Joen Nilsson (1536-1600). She was rumored to have murdered her late spouse and of having bewitched Lucretia. Ulfsax was arrested was executed after failing to present twelve female nobles as character witnesses.
