Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden

Grand Princess of Kievan Rus'
Years: 1001 - 1050

Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden also known as Irene, Anna and St. Anna (1001 – 10 February 1050), is a Swedish princess and a Grand Princess of Kiev.

She is the daughter of Swedish King Olof Skötkonung and Estrid of the Obotrites and the consort of Yaroslav I the Wise of Kiev.

Ingegerd or St. Anna is often confused with the mother of St. Vladimir “the Enlightener” of the Rus.

This is mainly because Ingegerd and Yaroslav also had a son named Vladimir.

However, St. Vladimir was actually the father of Ingegerd’s husband Yaroslav I “the Wise”, thus making her St. Vladimir’s daughter-in-law.

St. Vladimir is actually the son of Sviatoslav and Malusha.
