Swedish princess. She was also called Rixa and her Swedish name was Rikissa Magnidotter. She entered St. Clare's Priory in Stockholm in childhood, was a nun there and was the priory's abbess from the 1330s until her death. A beautiful little chain of pure gold, now in the Swedish History Museum, is believed to have been hers.
