==Purported identity as ''Ingemo''==

''Ingemo'' was a local Swedish saint in [[Västergötland]], however, she was not officially sanctioned and recognized by the Church. She is known only from customs at the [[Ingemo Well]] in Sweden.<ref name="Martling"/><ref name="Stålberg"/> Ingemo Well ({{lang-sv|Ingemo källa}}), located between [[Skövde]] and [[Tidaholm]], is a natural well where Ingemo was venerated according to legend, and which may originally have been a Pagan era holy site well. The well is walled with stone, its dimensions are 1,2 × 0,6 meter. It is covered with a limestone slab.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fmis.raa.se/cocoon/fornsok/search.html?tab=3&objektid=10187301130001 |title=object Dala 113:1 |publisher=[[Swedish National Heritage Board]] |language=sv }}</ref> The well was the goal of [[pilgrimage]]s, where people offered [[coin]]s for health into the 19th century.<ref name="Stålberg">{{cite book| author=Wilhelmina Stålberg |title=Anteckningar om svenska qvinnor |chapter=S:ta Ingemo |chapter-url=https://runeberg.org/sqvinnor/0229.html |language=sv |year=1864}}</ref> The earliest accounts of the customs at the well date from the late 17th century.<ref name="Martling">{{cite book|author=Carl Henrik Martling |title=En svensk helgonkrönika |year=2001|ISBN=91-7580-201-5}}</ref>

Modern genealogical speculation made her the mother of Inge but ''Ingemo'' cannot be reliably sourced as the same person as ''Ingamoder''.
