Individual Details

Swietoslava

(Abt 970 - Aft 2 Feb 1014)

While given the Nordic ancestry in sagas, she has been hypothesized to be identical to historically attested Polish or Pomeranian princesses. Her authenticity is disputed by some modern scholars such as Birgitta Fritz. Sigrid appears in many sagas composed generations after the events they describe, but there is no reliable evidence as to her existence as they describe her. It is unclear if she was a real person, if the saga account of her is an amalgamation of the lives and deeds of several women, or if she is a completely fictional character.
