Agatha's parents are not proven to my satisfaction.  I cannot tell why she was sometimes known as "of Hungary."

  "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W.H.Turton (Balt.: Gen.Pub.Co., 1968) identifies Agatha "of Germany" as dau. of Bruno of Germany, Bishop of Augsburg and brother of Emperor Henry II.  Ernest-Friedrich Kraentzler, "The Ancestry of Richard Plantagenet and

Cecily de Neville," p. 58, states that Agatha is daughter of Ludolph von Braunschweig, Count im Derlingo, Marquis von Westfriesland, b. 1008, d. 04-23-1038, m, 1020 Gertrude von Egisheim.  See Szabolcs de Vajay, "Agatha, Mother of St. Margaret, Queen

of Scotland," in Duquesne Review, vol. 7, no. 2, Spring, 1962, pp. 71-80, with tables.

   "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists...," Frederick L. Weis, 7th Edition (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1992), p. 2, gives the current status of the discussion of Agatha's parentage:  "For her ancestry, see The American

Genealogist 54:231.  But see also Frank Barlow, "The Feudal Kingdom of England, 16-17; Ritchie, "The Normans in Scotland," 389-392, and Szaboles de Vajay, [referenced above - AEM ] The parentage suggested in the last [i.e. de Vajay] reference is the

most probable.  See also Gabriel Ronay, "The Lost King of England" (1989), 117-121."

  In "The Saints of the Catholic Church" it is written that she was a sister of Gisela of Bavaria who was married to king (St) Sthephen of Hungary (he died August 5th 1038).

Yaroslav "the Wise" brought Kievan Rus to a pinnacle internally and in its
foreign relations; he build a cathedral (Santa Sophia) in Kiev, codified
laws, expanded westward into Poland and defeated the Petchenegs. John L.
LaMonte, "The World of the Middle Ages" (New York: Appleton..., 1949), p.
149, states "...Russia had in the eleventh century a culture and civilization
far superior to that of England, Frank or Western Europe generally...Kiev was
the greatest capital of Christendom after Constantinople."

Vladimir was a semi-barbaric Viking tribal chief of great leadership abilities; conquered
and then was first ruler of a unified Russia; was baptised at Kherson in the Crimea on
The Feast of the Epiphany, 988 and "converted" his subjects to Christianity, and formed
many alliances (many sealed with marriages of his children) with the other leaders of
Europe {-see Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1956 Edition, 23:231}. He was Grand Duke of Kiev
about 978 to his death. His father sent him to govern Novgorod in 970 despite his
youth. He became Grand Duke, i.e. leader of his people, by killing his brother
Yaropolk, uniting Novgorod and Kiev. After becoming a Christian, Vladimir built
churches, promoted charity, established Orthodox canon law and married (988) Princess
Anna, sister of Byzantine Emperor Basil II (reigned 976-1025) and daughter of Romanus II
(Emperor 959-63) and his second wife Theophano ________. Princess Anna's ancestry (the
Macedonian dynasty) is given in "The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium" (NY: Oxford
University Press, 1991), II:1262-63. "From the reign of Svyatoslav's youngest son, Vladimir, the Norman dynasty was definitely settled in Kiev." - Encycl. Brit., 1956, 19:692. His feast day is July 15th. Also see "The Rise of Christian Russia, Part
II", A. Poppe (1978), pp. 197-244.

Christian King of Sweden. {- cf. Encycl.Brit.,`56,21:638} He reigned
1001-24. "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 241-5 states "Olaf's wife is
unknown."

{W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry" (Balt.:Gen. Pub. Co., 1968), p. 26,
gives Sviastoslav as son of Igor of Kiev (d. 945) and Olga (d. 969), and
Igor as son of Rurik of Kiev (d. 879).} He was the first prince of Kiev to
attempt conquest beyond Russia proper, invading Bulgaria and taking Preslav
in 968; he was forced to withdraw in 972 and was killed in a battle with the
Petchenegs (employed by the Byzantines to attack him).
