Petrus de Dacia (literally Peter from Denmark)came from Gottland in Sweden (ca 1230s-1289)and was a Dominican monk often credited with being the first author in Sweden although he wrote in Latin.

Petrus de Dacia is famous for his correspondence with and his 15 visits to the Blessed Virgin (a "Beguine") Christina von Stommeln, the first woman to have reportedly received stigmata (source: "Codex Iuliacensis", ca. 1320 to 1350). Christina lived around Stommeln near Cologne; Stommeln was part of the County of Jülich in the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation, where here relics are venerated.
