Sigurd I of Norway
Sigurd I Magnusson (1089?-1130), nicknamed Sigurd Jorsalfar (Sigurd the Crusader) was king of Norway 1103-1130.
Sigurd became king together with his brothers Øystein and Olav when his father Magnus Barefoot died in 1103.
1107-1110 he left Norway to lead a Norwegian contingent in the Crusade. He fought in Lisbon, various Mediterranean islands and Palestine, and visited Sicily, Jerusalem (Jorsalaland) and Constantinople. From this he got his nicknames.
