Hvem daterte Hedvig Taube?

Hedvig Ulrika Taube (født 31. oktober 1714 i Stockholm, død 11. februar 1744 samme sted) var den svenske kong Fredrik Is elskerinne fra hun var 16 år gammel til sin død og fødte ham fire barn.

Hun var datter av admiral Evert Taube, og hun og hennes far fikk i perioden en betydelig politisk innflytelse. Hedvig ble romersk riksgrevinne med navnet von Hessenstein, som også barna brukte. Dronning Ulrika Eleonora og prestestanden kritiserte skarpt forholdet. Hedvig von Hessenstein døde i barselseng som tredveårig.

Frederick I (Swedish: Fredrik I; 28 April 1676 – 5 April 1751) was King of Sweden from 1720 until his death, having been prince consort of Sweden from 1718 to 1720, and was also Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel from 1730. He ascended the throne following the death of his brother-in-law absolutist Charles XII in the Great Northern War, and the abdication of his wife, Charles's sister and successor Ulrika Eleonora, after she had to relinquish most powers to the Riksdag of the Estates and thus chose to abdicate. His powerless reign and lack of legitimate heirs of his own saw his family's elimination from the line of succession after the parliamentary government dominated by pro-revanchist Hat Party politicians ventured into a war with Russia, which ended in defeat and the Russian tsarina Elizabeth getting Adolf Frederick of Holstein-Gottorp instated following the death of the king. Whilst being the only Swedish monarch called Frederick, he was Frederick I of Hesse-Kassel and thus Frederick I also of Sweden, though other Swedish monarchs with non-repeating names (such as Birger, Sigismund and Frederick's successor: Adolf Frederick) had not been enumerated.
