Research Notes:
It is clear that the role of Sigrid in the stories of HEIMSKRINGLA is that
of an explanation for the Battle of Svoldur. Adam of Bremen does not assign
any role to Svein's wife in the outbreak of this war--and the narrative of
HEIMSKRINGLA concerning why Denmark and Sweden went to war with Olaf
Tryggvasson would make perfect sense whether or not Sigrid the Haughty appears
in the story. Adam implies that the "haughty" woman who instigated hostilities
was Svein's sister Thyri, not Svein's wife.
It seems that the role and reputation of Svein's sister Thyri became grafted
onto Svein's wife. Combined with the error concerning which wife of Erik the
Victorious afterwards married Svein Forkedbeard, and we get a woman who is
haughty, and who is remembered for her marriages, especially to kings. This
reputation is *probably* responsible for the story of the way that she burned
Harald Grenski and Vsevolod to death in retaliation for their proposing to
her. [Ref: Jared Olar SGM 6/4/1996]
