Ingrid Ragnvaldsdotter was born a member of the Swedish royal family sometime between 1100/1110. Her father was Prince Ragnvald Ingesson of Sweden, the only known son of King Inge I of Sweden. Her father died at an early age and never succeeded as king. She had a number of children who played an important role in Swedish and Norwegian history. Married four times, her husbands were:
1. Henry Svendsen Skadellar, son of Sven Svendsen of Denmark, who was one of the illegitimate sons of King Sweyn II of Denmark. A frequent schemer and plotter, he was an unsuccessful pursuer to the Danish throne when he died. He was crippled and was not ever considered a candidate for the throne. He died at the Battle of Fotevik in the Bay of Fotevik near Vellinge in Skane on June 4, 1134.
2. King Harald IV Gille of Norway, an illegitimate son of King Magnus III of Norway. She had a son by him who eventually became King Inge I of Norway. When King Harald was murdered by Sigurd Slembe in 1136, she played a prominent role in having her son, Inge, and her stepson, Sigurd, proclaimed as co-rulers and in waging the ensuing war against the attempted usurper, Sigurd Slembe.
3. Ottar Birting, who was a prominent Norwegian nobleman. He was killed in Nidaros, Norway sometime during the 1140s.
Between her third and fourth husband, she had a child out of wedlock by an otherwise unknown man named Ivar Sneis.
4. Arne Ivarsson of Starheim, Norway. He was another prominent Norwegian nobleman with whom she had four children.
She was a constant advisor to her son, King Inge I of Norway, and played a prominent role in many of the events of the early civil war era of Norway, which lasted from 1130 to 1240. On February 3, 1161, King Inge I was defeated and killed in battle against Haakon the Broadshouldered, forcing her and her 4th husband to leave Norway for exile in Denmark. She died some time after 1161, presumably in Denmark. Her burial location is unknown.
