Biography
The woman was born about 1025 to King Emund. She married Stenkil, who would later inherit her father's title. According to a few more or less reliable sources King Stenkil had four sons,[2] of which the first two can be considered known to history:
- Inge the Elder, King of Sweden
- Halsten Stenkilsson, King of Sweden
- Sweyn Stenkilsson
- Eric
Purported identity as Ingemo
Ingemo was a local Swedish saint in
Ingemo Well in Sweden.[3][4] Ingemo Well (Swedish: Ingemo källa), located between Skövde and Tidaholm, is a natural well where Ingemo was venerated according to legend, and which may originally have been a Pagan era holy site well. The well is walled with stone, its dimensions are 1,2 × 0,6 meter. It is covered with a limestone slab.[5] The well was the goal of pilgrimages, where people offered coins for health into the 19th century.[4] The earliest accounts of the customs at the well date from the late 17th century.[3]
Modern genealogical speculation made her the mother of Inge but Ingemo cannot be reliably sourced as the same person as Ingamoder.
