According to Heimskringla, Thjodrek the Monk tells of Sigurd that he made a Journey to Jerusalem, liberated a few Muslim occupied cities, and among them Sidon; that he captured a cave defended by Muslim Moors, received presents from Baldwin, returned to Norway in Eystein's lifetime, and became insane, as a result, as some say, of a poisonous drink.

Skalds quoted in this saga are: Thorarin Stutfeld, Einar Skulason, Haldor Skvaldre, and Arne Fjoruskeif

It should be noted that the people referred to as heathens in Spain and in the Mediterranean are Muslim Moors (Spain was under Muslim Moorish occupation in the years 711- 1492 AD.)

Based on the number of ships referenced it is estimated that he raised an army of aprox 500-1000 Norsemen.

Sigurd I Magnusson Journey

I'd be interested to hear if anyone can provide a source for the statement: "he was also styled as King of Mann and the Isles". There is little doubt he became a ruler of the Kingdom of the Isles, albeit temporarily, but the titles of these rulers were very varied as you can see from the list.

Hi,

wouldn't it make more sense to link the Smaalanders directly with Norse Religion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_religion

instead of "Norse Mythology"?

"Jorsalafar" does not mean crusader, but someone who has travelled to Jerusalem (as a pilgrim; which fits in well with Sigurd's Norwegian Crusade being described by some as having primarily been a pilgrimage, not a crusade). So a more proper title for the article would be Sigurd Jorsalfar or Sigurd I Magnusson (the title of the article on the Norwegian WP is no:Sigurd Jorsalafare). - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 21:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• "Jorsal" was the Old Norse name for Jerusalem, and "fare"/farare" meant traveller, i.e. "Jerusalem-traveller". - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 21:47, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
