La Bella Ingeborg
La Bella Ingeborg (Valborg Elisabeth Gröning, but often referred to as Bojan),[1] (Gävle 3 April 1890 - 24 December 1970) was a Swedish circus princess, introduced as "The Prodigy Child".[2]
La Bella Ingeborg
Ingeborg was born into poverty and put up for adoption at the age of four by circus artists Julia Andersson and Knut Lindberg.[1] At age 15, she married a circus clown, Charles Bazola. They travelled around the world performing with the circus Fortuna & Bazola.
After Ingeborg gave birth to a daughter, Héléne Bazola, the couple moved back to Gävle. Ingeborg delivered newspapers for a living before she died in 1970. She is buried at the cemetery in Gävle, in a grave with other circus artists.[3]
