Notes

• Ingegerd is one of the swedish queens that we know very little about. One source states that she could have been married to king Ragnvald Knaphövde. If this was the case she couldn't have been the queen of sweden for more than one day as the king was murdered on his Eriksgata.

Married

• Marriage: Ingegerd av Reval, dronning av Vestergötland ca 1080

Children

• Ingerid RAGNVALDSDOTTER QUEEN OF NORWAY, b: ABT 1108 in Sweden; Ingrid Ragnvaldsdatter (died after 1161) was married to King Harald Gille, king of Norway in the period 1130-1136, and she gave birth to Inge Haraldsson, also called Inge Krokrygg (1135-1161).

History

With King Inge the Younger's death in the early 1120s, Sweden came into an uneasy time. The historical source base for the period is lean, but one of the persons named is King Ragnvald Knaphövde. In the middle of the 1120s he was elected king of the swarms and the eastern gods. The West Guys, on the other hand, had chosen the Danish prince Magnus the strong for his king.

When Ragnvald had been elected king at Morasteinen, he embarked on the mandatory journey around Sweden, the so-called "Eriksgata", to be accepted as king by the local things. When he came to Vestergøtaland, but without having secured himself hostage according to old customs and custom, he was assaulted by the layman and the peasants and killed at Kokkola in the vicinity of today's Falköping in 1126.

The nickname button button comes from the fact that Ragnvald should have had a very small and round head.

His daughter Ingrid Ragnvaldsdatter (dead once after 1161) was married to King Harald Gille, king of Norway in the period 1130-1136, and she gave birth to him Inge Haraldsson, also called Inge Krokrygg (1135-1161).
