        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

        Sigurd I Magnusson (1089?-1130), nicknamed Sigurd Jorsalfar (Sigurd the Crusader) was king of Norway 1103-1130.

        In 1098, he accompanied his father, Magnus, on his expedition to the Orkney Islands, the and the Western Lands. He was made Jarl of Orkney in that year, following the removal of the incumbent Earl. He was also, apparently made King of Man and the Isles in that year as well, following Magnus's overthrow of their king.

        It is not known whether he returned with Magnus to Norway after the 1098 expedition, but when in 1002 Magnus returned west, he was present in Orkney. A marriage alliance was negogiated between Muirchertach Ua Briain, the leading king in Ireland at the time and ruler of Dublin, and Magnus, and Sigrud was to marry Muirchertach's daughter. However in 1103 when Magnus was killed in Ulaid, the fourteen year old Sigrud returned to Norway, leaving his child-bride behind.

        When he returned to Norway, he became king together with his brothers Øystein and Olav.

        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.
