Note on Wife: Elisiv of KIEV

Elisaveta Yaroslavna of Kiev (in Norwegian: Ellisif or Elisabeth), (1025 - ca 1067), was a Rus' Princess of Kiev and a Norwegian queen, wife and queen consort of king Harald III of Norway.

 

Elisaveta was born to Prince Yaroslav I of Kiev and Princess Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden. She was the sister of Anne of Kiev, queen and regent of France, and Anastasia of Kiev, queen of Hungary. During the winter of 1043-44, Elisaveta was married to Prince Harald Sigurdsson of Norway, who was in service of her father at the time. She was the addressee of Harald's surviving poems where he lamented her suggested lack of affection towards him (no implications about their actual affections can be derived, as this might well be a poetic cliche). In 1045, she followed Harald to Norway, were they became king and queen of Norway. In Norway, she was called Queen Elisiv. In 1047, her husband became the sole ruler. In 1048, Harald took another wife, Tora Torbergsdatter. In 1066, Harald invaded England, where he died. Elisiv and her daughters followed Harald to England, where Maria died, as it was said, at the news of her fathers death. Elisiv and her second daughter Ingegerd returned to Norway with the Norwegian fleet. She lived the rest of her life with her step-son King Olav Kyrre on Ostlandet. She is not likely to have lived long as a widow, and is presumed to have died the year after she was widowed, although the year of her death is unknown. It has sometime been said, that she married King Sweyn II of Denmark as a widow, but she may have been confused with Harald's second wife Tora Torbergsdatter, who is also suggested to have married Sweyn as a widow.

Elisaveta was married to Harald in 1043 or 1044. They had two known children:
