Her whole life was a bit sad due to her inability to produce an heir.

That's horrible. I bet that gardener was delt with at the hands of the king who had him killed or punished in a certain way for murdering his daughter.

Laksamilawan was not the daughter of a King when she died.

... or at any other time. She was the daughter of a Prince and (first) wife of a King - but never a King's daughter.

A long forgotten and neglected and murdered royal was poor Blanche II of Navarre!

Holmger Knutsson, born some time before 1220, the son of king Knut II of Sweden (1229 - 1234) and his queen Helena Pedersdatter Strange, was claimant to throne after his father's death but instead the previous king Erik XI (nicknamed the Lisp and Lame) was reinstated. In 1247 Holmger made an unsuccessful attempt for the crown, but lost the battle of Sparrsätra, and was captured and executed in 1248. After his death there was an attempt to have him established as a saint.

Holmger's younger brother Filip Knutsson was also executed in 1251, having taken part in the same uprising as his brother.
