Sigurd Slembe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | Sigurd, an unknown person, appeared in Norway claiming that he was a son of the late king Magnus III of Norway the Barefoot, and demanded his putative half-brother king Harald Gille (whose origin actually was quite similar) to share power with him, as co-kings. |
 | | In battle of Holmengrå in 1139 Magnus and Sigurd were put against supporters of the child Inge I of Norway, Harald's son. |
 | | The main sources for Sigurd and his era are the kings' sagas Heimskringla, Fagrskinna and Morkinskinna, They in turn base their accounts on the now lost Hryggjarstykki whose author, Eiríkr Oddsson, either witnessed the events himself, or spoke to people who had. |
