Life Family.
She was one of the younger children of Vladimir I, Grand Prince of Kiev. The identity of her mother is disputed among historians and web sources.
Grand Prince Vladimir I had married seven times and had fathered many children, legitimate and illegitimate. Anna Porphyrogeneta, his sixth wife, is
named Dobroniega after her paternal great-grandmother, Maria Dobroniega of Kiev. Dobroniega probably took on her second name Ludgarda after marriage with Theodoric, son of margrave of Meissen and Lusatia, whose mother was Luitgard (Ludgarda). This hypothesis, formulated by Karol Maleczyński, is widely accepted by historians.
No sources mentioned her date of birth. She was one of younger children of Bolesław III and Salomea.
According to Karol Maleczyński she was born no later than in 1129 as the tenth child of Bolesław III and Salomea
