Sophia of Denmark's sisters Agnes and Jutta escaped a convent and fled to the Swedish Royal court, where they were turned away, and Jutta had an affair with King Valdemar.
While Sophia herself and her sister Ingeborg had been married to Kings, their sisters Agnes and Jutta had been forced to become nuns by the Danish regent, to avoid that more of the huge fortune of the sisters were to leave Denmark. In 1271, Agnes and Jutta escaped from the convent in Roskilde and fled to their sister Queen Sophia in Sweden. They were kindly welcomed at the Swedish royal court, but Jutta and Valdemar made a scandal by having an affair. The scandal - not only adultery, but also incest, as the church regarded a sister-in-law as a true sister - reportedly led to Valdemar having to make a pilgrimage to Rome to ask for the Pope's absolution.
