# Our story

Once upon a time, back in the 14th century, Queen Eufemia lived at Rügen. It was then agreed that she was to be married to Håkon Magnusson. She was then sent to a very desolate area called Bjørvika.
What gave her courage were her books. She brought her library with her, which was one of Europe's largest at that time.

So it is **Queen Eufemia's library** that gave the DNB Design System its name.
