description: "Hedvig Antoinette Isabella Eleonore Jensen, better known by her stage name Elvira Madigan, was a circus performer who performed as a slack rope dancer, artistic rider, juggler and dancer. She is best known today for her romantic relationship with the Swedish nobleman and cavalry officer Sixten Sparre, who most likely murdered her before committing suicide. Their joint death caused great sensation and the event was described in song by, among others, the author Johan Lindström Saxon in a song beginning \"Sad things happen\", which gained great popularity."
