Biography

Oxenstierna was son of important nobles and landowners: his mother

Jöns Bengtsson (Oxenstierna)
, Archbishop of Uppsala (1417–1467). [3] [4]

In 1418 he acquired an islet and the founded the estate Djursholm. There he built a manor house, later the site of Djursholm Castle (Djursholms slott) which dates from the 15th century but did not get its current appearance until the 17th century. [5]

From his two earlier marriages, Oxenstierna did not succeed to have any surviving male heir. His third wife Katarina Karlsdotter bore a number of children of whom half died without marriage and issue. His surviving son Erik Nilsson Oxenstierna (d. 1470) did not have any children. [6]

Three of Oxenstierna's daughters married noblemen of the

Vasa family. Kerstin who married Nils of Hjulsta
, continues a more permanent issue. A portion of Oxenstierna's properties passed ultimately to others than his direct descendants, as inheritances through his daughters-in- and sons-in-law.
