Who was Sophie Elisabeth Pentz?
Sophie Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein was the daughter of king Christian IV of Denmark and Kirsten Munk. She shared the title Countess of Schleswig-Holstein with her mother and siblings.
As her siblings, she was raised by her grandmother Ellen Marsvin. She was engaged in 1620 and married in 1634 to Christian von Pentz. She was her mother Kirsten Munks' favourite, and her visits to her mother during her house arrest made her father prolong Kirsten's the house arrest in 1646. Sophie Elisabeth sided with her sister Leonora Christina Ulfeldt in her conflict with the crown and took Leonora's son to her at the Swedish court in 1654. She returned to Denmark in 1656.
