There shouldn't be a link to her mother because of this doubt.

Why do you think that?

Gunhild|Swjatoslawa|Sygryda, (Piast).

Father Mieszko I Dagon, Grand Duke of Poland
Mother Dubrava - Dobrawa - Dubrawka of Bohemia

Herman Lindqvist (Swedish journalist and historian) puts forward the theory that the name Sigrid was a popular Swedishization of Świętosława and that Gunhild was the official queen's name. It's credible.

It's ok to list not fully verified relationships I think, but the theories should be documented / linked on the profile. Not sure if that is the case here?
