Historiography of Agatha

In 1894, William Farrand Felch wrote a series of notes that appeared
in Notes and Queries. While suffering from the lack of many of the
details we now have available, he makes many of the points that Jette
would make a century later, and concludes, as did the later author,
that Agatha was daughter of Jaroslav of Kiev. Apparently Jette was
unaware of this work when he suggested that he had 'finally
discovered' this solution.


These are only available in snippet view in Google Books, but Live
Search Books has them in full.

Let me add to this that Felch reports a Scottish writer from the 16th
century who makes Agatha daughter of King Harthecnut.
