Sigtrygg Gnupasson

Sigtrygg Gnupasson

.

Sigtrygg was son of Gnupa and the Danish noblewoman Asfrid. He rose to power around 915, and is remembered on the two Sigtrygg Runestones (DR2 and DR4) erected by his mother after his death.

Harthacnut came to Denmark around 916, and according to Adam and his star witness king Sweyn, immediately deposed the young king Sigtrygg. This happened "in the last days of archbishop Hoger", says Adam, and Hoger died around 917.
