Estrid Margarete Svendsdatter (Estrith, Astrith) was a Danish princess, daughter of Sweyn Forkbeard and sister of Cnut.
As the wife of Ulf Jarl, she was the mother of Sweyn II of Denmark (Svend Estridsen), and Beorn Estrithson. Ulf was killed in 1026.
She then married Robert, Duke of Normandy, a marriage mentioned by Ralph Glaber in his Historiarum libri quinque. This match ended in divorce, and was childless; Robert's children including William the Conqueror were illegitimate. Adam of Bremen gives a misleading account, as to the date, and the Duke involved.
