Disambiguation Begga is *NOT* Saint Bega of Ireland.[11] Sources ↑ Parents chosen by principles of the European Aristocracts project, using primary sources, especially collected by the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy’s Medieval Lands project. ↑ The apparently widespread notion that she married into Swedish lines with Solfi Solfarsson and was mother to his children seems without basis in primary sources. Lest there be any illusion on the subject, the "kings" of Sweden before 1000 are in and of themselves not supported by reliable evidence. Cawley, C. (2006).
