Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gytha_of_Wessex
Gytha of Wessex (died 1098 or 1107; Old English: G?ð) was one of several daughters 
of Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon King of England, by his consort, Edyth 
Swannesha. In Domesday her sole possession was the manor of Werrington, a very 
large settlement on the Cornish / Devon border.[1]

According to Saxo Grammaticus, Gytha and two of her brothers escaped to the court 
of their uncle, King Sweyn Estridsson of Denmark. The two brothers were treated by 
Sweyn with hospitality, while their sister was married to Waldemar, King of Ruthenia, 
i.e. Vladimir II Monomakh, one of the most famous rulers of Kievan Rus.

Gytha was the mother of Mstislav the Great, the last ruler of united Kievan Rus. In the 
Norse sagas, Mstislav is called Harald, after his grandfather. The patericon of St. 
Pantaleon Cloister in Cologne says that "Gytha the Queen" died as a nun on 10 
March. A year later Vladimir Monomakh married another woman.
