Misc. Notes
Olof Skötkonung - Wikipedia
Olof Skötkonung (c. 980–1022) was King of Sweden, son of Eric the Victorious and, according to Icelandic sources, Sigrid the Haughty. He succeeded his father in c. 995. He stands at the threshold of recorded history since he is the first Swedish ruler about whom we have substantial knowledge. He is also commonly regarded as the first king known to have ruled both the Swedes and the Geats.
With his first spouse, a mistress named Edla, the daughter of a Slavic chief, Olof had three children:
• Emund the Old, King of Sweden in c. 1050-1060
• Astrid, d. after 1035, married to Olaf II of Norway (Olaf the Saint)
• Holmfrid (possibly sister of Olof), married to Sven Jarl of Norway
With his second spouse, Queen Estrid of the Obotrites, Olof had two children:
• Anund Jacob, King of Sweden in 1022-c. 1050
• Ingegerd, d. 1050, married to Yaroslav I of Kiev
