Snorre names Sigri d as daughter of "Skoglar" Toste and refers to her marriage to "the Sw edish king, Eirik the Victorious" [1]. Saxo Grammaticus names "Syritha " as mother of "Erici filius Olavus" [2]. The ''Fagrskinna'' names Sig rid, mother of King Olof, as daughter of Skoglar-Tosta [3]. ''Morkinsk inna'' names "Sigridr en stórráda" as mother of “the lady Ástríd r… sister of two kings, Knútr the Great and Óláfr the Swede” wh o married “Jarl Úlfr sprakaleggr” [4].

Adam of Bremen records the marriage of Sv end King of Denmark and "Herici relictam, matrem Olaph" [6]. If it i s correct that Sigrid was the mother of Olav, it necessarily places he r first marriage to King Erik before [985] at the latest, assuming tha t King Olof's daughter Ingigerd was born in [1000/03] as shown below .
