Edla

Edla (10th–11th century) was a Slavic woman during the Viking Age. She was the mother of King Emund of Sweden and Queen Astrid of Norway. . According to tradition, Edla was the daughter of a Lechitic tribal chief who ruled the region between the Oder and Elbe rivers, in what is now Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. She was brought to Sweden as a prisoner of war sometime between 995-1000, likely before the arrival of Estrid of the Obotrites (Estrid av obotriterna). . King Olof Skötkonung took Edla as his concubine. Later he married Estrid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edla
