"Czech woman", unamed in Nestor but called Adele in some later chronicles,

probably the first of Vladimir's wives. As we know that Vladimir spent several
years before 980 in Scandinavia, it is not clear how he managed to find a
czech woman there. So probably more reliable is information preserved by
Tatischev (a 18th century historian, but he had in hispossession ancient
chronicles which didn't survive), that Vysheslav's mother was a scandinavian
woman named Olava. This also fits information of sagas, calling Vladimir's
wife Allogia [Ref: Andrew Kalinkin SGM 8/2/1999]
