Brita Tott, also known as the Lady of Hammersta, was a noblewoman of the 15th century who happened to have ended up in the perfect position to become one of the most effective spies in Danish history. Born to a wealthy noble family, Tott would eventually become one of the biggest landowners and powerful women in all of Scandinavia. Though born in Denmark, she would end up marrying an influential Swedish noble and move to Sweden. For nearly 10 years, she was content to use her vast wealth to manipulate politics in both Sweden and Denmark. But when these two countries went to war, her loyalties lay with her homeland.
