About Dorothea Elisabeth Christiansdatter
- Dorothea Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein (1 September 1629 – 18 March 1687) was the daughter of king Christian IV of Denmark and Kirsten Munk. As her siblings, she was raised by her grandmother Ellen Marsvin.
- She was known as Miss leftover, as the king did not recognize her as his child, believing her to be the daughter of Otto Louis of Salm.
- Marsvin tried to have her recognized, but failed, and in 1637, she was sent to Hamburg and then to a convent school in Cologne.
- She converted to Roman Catholicism from Lutheranism, religion of her parents, and became a nun there in 1646.
- She was legitimized in 1648.
