Ingeborg Mstislavna of Kiev ¹

  General Notes:

Ingeborg Mstislavna of Kiev (fl. 1137) was a Ruthenian princess, married to the Danish prince Canute Lavard of Jutland.

She was the daughter of Grand Prince Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden and was in about 1116 married to Canute in a marriage arranged by her maternal aunt, the Danish queen Margaret Fredkulla. In 1130, she tried to prevent Canute from going to the gathering where he was to be murdered, but without success. She gave birth to their son, Valdemar I of Denmark, posthumously in January 1131. In 1137, she refused to support the suggestion of Christiern Svendsen to proclaim her son monarch after the death of Erik Emune. Ingeborg is not mentioned after this, and the date of her birth and death are unknown.

Ingeborg married Canute Lavard Prince of Denmark, son of Eric I, King of Denmark and Boedil Thurgotsdatter Queen Consort of Denmark. (Canute Lavard Prince of Denmark was born in 1096 in Roskilde, Denmark and died on 7 Jan 1131 in forest of Haraldsted near Ringsted in Zealand, Denmark..)
