In accordance with the agreements reached in the fall of 1018, Olaf II arrived at the border to meet with the bride and her father, but they were not there. The messengers sent to Sweden brought disappointing news: in the summer ambassadors from the Novgorod "Konung Yaritsleiv" arrived at Olaf Shetkonung, the Swedish king passed off his daughter as the future Prince of Kyiv and ruler of Russia Yaroslav (Mudry), son of Vladimir Svyatoslavich, who reigned then in Novgorod. Olaf II married Ingigerda's half-sister Astrid.
Ingigerda became the second wife of Yaroslav, since the first wife of the Russian prince in 1018 was captured by the Polish king Boleslav and, together with Yaroslav's sisters, was forever taken to Poland. According to another version, the first spouse (probably Anna) died around 1018.
