     Ráðbarðr , King of Gardarike was born circa 638.1 Ráðbarðr's name was also spelt Radbard, Raðbarðr or Rathbarth.1,2

Ráðbarðr , King of Gardarike married Auda Ivarsdotter, daughter of Ivar Halfdansson Wide Fathom from Scane ~ King of Uppsala in Sweeden and Lethra in Denmark.1

Compeller's Notes:
King in Russia: In the early middle ages, the land known to-day as Russia was composed of several small city states, and it is to be imagined that Radbard established himself as “king” of one of these cities. However, historical evidence indicates that Scandinavians such as Radbard journeyed to Russia circa 850, and certainly no earlier that 800. It is difficult to reconcile this fact with the concept that Radbard’s great X2 grandson is said to be the historical figure Ivar “the Boneless” Ragnarsson, who became King of Dublin in 856.3

Child of Ráðbarðr , King of Gardarike and Auda Ivarsdotter
