Sophia of Minsk's (a Danish queen consort by marriage to King Valdemar I of Denmark) mother moved her to Denmark when her son from her first marriage (her half brother) became king, and when her mother re-married Sverker I of Sweden in her third marriage, she moved Sophia with her to Sweden, where she spent the rest of her childhood.
Sophia of Minsk or Sophia of Polotsk (c. 1140  5 May 1198) was a Danish queen consort by marriage to King Valdemar I of Denmark, and a landgravine of Thuringia by marriage to Louis III, Landgrave of Thuringia. Sophia was the half sister of Canute V of Denmark, the son of her mother by her first marriage: after her half brother became king of Denmark in 1146, her mother returned to Denmark with her daughter Sophia, who thus spent part of her childhood in Denmark at the court of her half brother the king. In circa 1149, her mother married Sverker I of Sweden, in her third marriage. She took her daughter with her to Sweden, where Sophia subsequently spent the rest of her childhood at the Swedish royal court.
