Talk:Margaret Leijonhufvud

Eclipse on her death
"Tradition says that an eclipse took place upon her death." There was a total eclipse in Finland on 31 August. .
 * That may have actually been a sort of artistic propaganda thing to describe sorrow over her death rather than something literal, but yes, in retrospect, it could have been referring to that eclipse you mention, perhaps, when this myth was described perhaps many years after her death. --Aciram (talk) 11:55, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Name
As far as I can tell, she never used the name "Leijonhufvud", it has been posthumously assigned to her by some historians (and might be the actually the most common name in English). It is however definately not a name she took upon her marriage, so marking "Eriksdotter" with a "née" is inapropriate.
