Queen Dagmar, Bohemian princess, married in 1205 withValdemar. She is described as a very popular queen, goodagainst the prisoners and the poor. She dies 1212, accordingto the ballad in Ribe, but Valdemar is in Skanderborg. Hegets fetched by Dagmars page, and the king rides his furiousride through Jutland, but too late. Dagmar tries on herdeathbed to persuade Valdemar to marry Kirsten, but in vain.She was laid to rest in the Valdemar-lineage burial-church,Sct. Bendt's Church in Ringsted.

The Danish folk ballad was first preserved by oral tradition,such as fairy tales, legends and myths. It originates fromFrance and came to Denmark at the end of the 12th century.Most folk songs are from the 1500's and was used as

entertainment. In the period 1550-1700 were ballads written in poetry books of nobleladies, among these books are the "Heartbook". In 1591 Anders Sørensen Vedel folk notesdown songs into his "Hundred-visebog" (“Book of 100 Songs”).

The following music is based on the folk-melody, but uses techniques from different stylesand were written in 2006 for 2 sopranos (and pianists), oboe, guitar and 5 strings for thetalented MGK-students at Aarhus School of Music.
