Sigrid Gjurdmundsdatter

Sigrid Gjurdmundsdatter is the daughter of Gjurdmund Ingvarsønn - the Jarl of Runskog. After her fathers death she became the Jarl of Runskog herself.



Becoming Jarl
When her father Gjurdmund Ingvarsønn went south to participate in The Battle of Gransjø, he brought with him his oldest son - Ingvar Gjurdmundsønn. Due to the forces from Runskog being in the toughest part of the battle, Gjurdmund died (Sigrid later claimed this was a conspiricy against him), and Ingvar brought the forces back to Runskog. Upon his return Sigrid killed Ingvar and proclaimed herself Jarl. She had been younger than him, but she was older than her other brother - Magnus Feige Gjurdmundsønn - who then accepted her becoming Jarl.
