Dina Vinhofvers (1620 – 7 July 1651) was a Danish silk worker who became famous because of her involvement in an alleged conspiracy of Danish statesman Corfitz Ulfeldt (1606–1664) against King Frederick III of Denmark in 1650–51
Dina Vinhofvers was sentenced to death for her first accusation. She was decapitated in the summer of 1651 outside Copenhagen Castle.
I am looking for:
The entire affair is the subject of Maria Edgeworth's story "The Conspiracy," first published in her Tales of Real Life (1810).
a tragic play written "Dina" in 1842 by Adam Oehlenschläger (1779–1850).
Danish author Ebbe Kløvedal Reich (1940-2005) also included portions of her story in his publication Rejsen til Messias (Copenhagen: Gyldendal. 1974).
