Sigrid the Haughty, also known as
Sigríð Storråda, is a queen appearing in
Norse sagas as wife, first of
Eric the Victorious of Sweden, then
Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark. Sigrid appears in many sagas composed generations after the events they describe, but there is no reliable evidence as to her existence as they describe her. The figure of Sigrid appears mainly in late Icelandic sagas, while more contemporary sources such as
Thietmar of Merseburg and
Adam of Bremen instead claims that Sweyn was married to a Polish princess, identified as
Swietoslawa.
Snorri Sturlason gives conflicting information and in one place says that Sweyn was married to Sigrid and in another that he was married to a
Gunhild of Wenden.
