Sigurd Hlodvirsson (circa 960–23 April 1014) popularly known as Sigurd the Stout from the Old Norse Sigurðr digri was an Earl of Orkney. The main sources for his life are the Norse Sagas which were first written down some two centuries or more after his death. These engaging stories must therefore be treated with caution rather than as reliable historical documents.Sigurd was the son of Hlodvir Thorfinnson and (according to the Norse sagas) a direct descendent of Torf-Einarr Rognvaldson.
