| 6. | Sigurd BIOMSSON, Danish Earl of Northumbria  (2.Beorn2, 1.Estrith1) was born about 990; died in 1040 in York, Yorkshire, England. Notes:
Siward led Malcolm's army as it advanced on Scotland by land and by sea. Siward was a Northumberland-Danish warlord. The English met little resistance from the Scots in the lowlands and were confronted by Macbeth just outside Scone, the Scottish capital. The "Annals of Ulstar" maintain that 3,000 Scots were killed and 1,500 English and Danes slain. Still, it was far from a vistory and Siward had to withdraw his troops from Scotland, Malcom having to be content with lordship over Cumbria. the next year, Siward died and in 1057 Malcom alone had to lead the battle against Macbeth.
Sigurd married Aefflaed OF BERNICIA. Aefflaed (daughter of Ealdred OF BERNICIA) was born about 997 in Bernicia, Northumbria, England; and died. [Group Sheet]

His significant service to Edward the Confessor was to cut off the head of a rebellious earl (Jarl Tosti) and deliver it to the King. Siward Dirga (Valiant) led a large army of his own Northumbrians, plus Danes and Anglo-Saxons over the border into Scotland and slaughtered many Scots Siward lost his own son, Asbeorn Timber-Axe, in the conflict.
