1. Eric V = Agnes ,dau. of John, Mgv. of Brandenburg

2. Christopher II = Euphemia, dau. of Bogulav IV, D.of Pomerania

3. Beatrice (or Methtilda) = Albert, Mgv. of Landsberg-Brandenburg

4. Beatrice, Heiress of Saargaurd (m. 1st.) Henry Leo of
Mecklenburg.

a. Mechtild = Otto, Duke of Luneburg .... No Issue

Henry Leo of Mecklenburg (m. 2nd.) Agnes of Saxony

Ann of Mecklenburg (half sister of Mechtild) = Henry Ironside,
Duke of
Schleswig

Gerhard III, Duke of Schleswig = Catherine of Braunschweig

Hedwig, Heiress of Schleswig = Theodore, Count of Holstein

Christian I, King of Denmark & Norway, King of Sweden =

Dorothea, dau. of John , Mgv. of Brandenburg & widow of
Christopher III, King of Denmark & Sweden, King of Norway

All of the above (and I hope there are no errors) is the nearest that
I could come to show decent from Eric V through the female line.
I don't believe that Christian I did have any Estrid blood in him,
but one of his ancestors (Agnes, dau. of the Saxon Elector) was the
second wife of Henry Leo of Meck., the first being Eric V's grt. grand
dau.
