Summary/Abstract: The article considers the problem of Agatha’s, the wife of Edward the Exile, ancestry. The author analyzes a different version of the Agatha’s ancestry in a context of internal policy of Yaroslav the Wise, who was the guardian of her husband. The debate about Agatha’s origin continues, but the author concludes that the German theory of descent for Agatha has better evidence base in the context of Yaroslav the Wises foreign policy.
