Born 28 March 1901, Märtha Sofia Lovisa Dagmar Thyra married Norway's future King Olav V in 1929 and became Crown Princess, linking her to a web of European royalty: her sister Astrid became Queen of Belgium, her nephews would be kings. When Germany invaded Norway in 1940, she fled first to Sweden, then accepted Roosevelt's offer of American refuge. From the United States she raised funds and advocated for Norway's cause through the war's duration, work that earned her the Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Norwegian Order of Saint Olav in 1942. She died 5 April 1954, three years before Olav took the throne - a crown princess who never wore the crown but whose son Harald V reigns today.
