The father of Sigurðr munnr ‘the Mouth’ was Haraldr gilli, and his mother was Þóra Guthormsdóttir (see Genealogy II.4 in ÍF 28). He was king of Norway 1136-55 and ruled jointly with his half-brothers Ingi (1136-55) and Eysteinn (1142-55). Sigurðr was killed in Bergen (10 June 1155) by Grégóríus Dagsson and his men with the sanction of his half-brother, Ingi (see Anon Nkt 56-8). See Mork (Mork 1928-32, 414-59; Andersson and Gade 2000, 372-402), Fsk (ÍF 29, 326, 331-8; Finlay 2004, 262, 266-72), Hkr (ÍF 28, 303-41; Hollander 1991, 736-63), H-Hr (Fms 7, 206-47).
