Biography

Daughter of a statesman, noble Erik Grubbe (1605–92) and Maren Juul (1608–47). She was married to Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve, Count of Laurvig (1638–1704), viceroy of Norway, the son of King Frederick III of Denmark, in 1660-70, the noble Palle Dyre (d. 1707) in 1673-91, and to the coachman Søren Sørensen Møller in 1691.

As the heir of her father, she was arranged to marry the illegitimate son of the king by her relative Regitze, widow of the illegitimate son of king Christian IV of Denmark and Karen Andersdatter, and followed him to Oslo in Norway in 1664. She had relationships with her husband's secretary Joachim Lambert, the Frenchman Blanquefort and her brother-in-law Stygge Høeg. In 1667, the spouses separated: as adultery was punishable by death, she thanked her spouse for her life. She was divorced by permission of the king in 1670, and was allowed to remarry and keep her fortune. In 1673, her father arranged a new marriage. In 1690, when she had a relationship with the younger coachman, her father asked the king for permission to desinherit her and have her locked up for the rest of her life. The king asked her spouse for his wishes, and he answered that he only wished for a divorce. she was put under house arrest until the divorce was completed, was desinherited and lost her right to marry in Denmark. She then married her lover in Holsten in Germany instead. The couple lived in poverty until they were given a home on Falster by the Queen dowager Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel. After the death of the queen dowager (1714), she lived on charity. She once said to Ludvig Holberg, that she was happier with her third spouse than with any other.
