Christina of Norway, Infanta of Castile

Christina of Norway was the daughter of Hkon IV and his wife, Margrete Skuledotter. She was born in Bergen. As part of an alliance she was betrothed to Philip, brother of Alfonso X of Castile. They married in 1258, and she lived in Castile until her death four years later. Tradition states that Christina desired that a church dedicated to St Olaf should be built in Castile. 750 years later, a modernized version of simple preRoman church was built and dedicated in Covarrubias, Spain.
