Helena, or Elin as she was also called, was the daughter of King Sverker I of Sweden. The date of her birth is not known, neither is her mother; it could be Sverker's first spouse, or Queen Ulvhild.
In 1156, she left Sweden and was married to king Canute V of Denmark. In 1157, Canute was murdered, and Helena returned to Sweden. In 1158, she entered Vreta Abbey, where her sister Ingegerd was a nun.
