Ingrid Ragnvaldsdottir, the first queen of Sweden with the name Ingrid, was the daughter of King Ragnvald Eriksson of Norway. She was born around 1165 and was married to Erik Knutsson (Eric the Elder), the future king of Sweden, in 1183. Ingrid played a significant role in the Christianization of Sweden. She was a devout Christian and played an instrumental role in spreading the faith in the country, which was still heavily influenced by Norse paganism. She died in 1200.
