Bjälbo church & Ingrid Ylva

Östergötland · Sverige · Kyrka · Skrekk 4/5

Birger Jarl's 'sorcery-wise' mother is said to have been walled in standing in a pillar — while she held her head high the dynasty would be spared.

Bjälbo was the Folkung dynasty's main seat and is named as Birger Jarl's birthplace; the mighty tower (~1220) is tied to his mother Ingrid Ylva. Legend calls her a 'sorcery-wise' white witch and says her dead body was walled in standing in a pillar — while she held her head high no misfortune would strike the Folkungs. [Tower/history documented; the walling-in and witch legend are folklore.]
