Småkongen Sigurd Syr (død ca 1018) og knyttes av sagaen til en storgård på Ringerike, men er kanskje best kjent som stefar til Olav den hellige (995-1030) og far til Harald Hardråde (1015-1066), som begge ble konger over Norge på 1000-tallet.
Sigurd Syr var i følge sagaen sønnesønn av Harald Hårfagres sønn Sigurd Haraldsson Rise. Nyere historikere og slektsforskere mener at det er tvilsomt.
--------------------
Sigurd Syr Halfdansson (sometimes spelled "Halvdansson") (c. 970-1018) was a petty king in Northern Ostlandet of Norway. The traditional view of his pedigree has been that he was a great-grandson of Harald I of Norway, however this is questioned by recent historians and genealogists. He was subking of Ringerike, an ancient territory in the county of Buskerud, southern Norway. Sigurd was stepfather of King Olav II of Norway and father of Harald III of Norway, through his marriage with Åsta Gudbrandsdatter.1

Sigurd Syr Halfdansson (sometimes spelled "Halvdansson") (d. 1018) was a petty king in Northern Ostlandet of Norway. The traditional view of his pedigree has been that he was a great-grandson of Harald I of Norway. He was subking of Ringerike, an ancient territory in the county of Buskerud, southern Norway. Sigurd was stepfather of King Olav II of Norway and father of Harald III of Norway, through his marriage with Åsta Gudbrandsdatter.
The identification that Sigurd's father would have been Halfdan of Hadafylke, a putative male-line grandson of Harald I of Norway (via Harald's son Sigurd Rise), is based on Icelandic saga material.
Sigurd Syr was baptized into the Christian faith in 988. According to the Heimskringla, "...King Olaf Trygvason came to Ringerike to spread Christianity, Sigurd Syr and his wife allowed themselves to be baptized.
His nickname Syr means "sow", and was not complimentary.
Sigurd Syr was a prudent man, taciturn and generally modest, although very wealthy. He was known as a good caretaker of his peoples' businesses, personally involved in their oversight, and he was knowledgeable about the local Norwegian economy. He was not fond of the pomp and ceremony of nobility, but participated in his role.
Sigurd Syr wasn't personally very ambitious, but he fully supported his stepson, King Olaf Haraldsson's ambitions of leadership and command. In 1014, he successfully petitioned his peers, the other Norwegian district Kings, to garner their support for a new war against Sweden, Denmark and England that commenced in 1015. This war was his stepson's cause.
13th century historian and mythographer Snorri Sturluson is the author of the Heimskringla, the source of the information in this description.
-------------------- Man vet inte om vikingarna kan ha känt till kompassen. Först omkring år 1300 dyker den upp inom historiebeskrivningen. Ett gåtfullt navigationsinstrument, en solsten, finns emellertid omtalat i några sagor. En av dem berättar, att kung Olav den Helige och hövdingen Sigurd Syr var ombord på ett skepp och vädret var tjockt och det snöade starkt. Kung Olav lät se efter om himlen var helt molntäckt. Då bad han Sigurd säga sig, vart solen var kommen, och denne sade honom det, och då lät kungen taga fram solstenen och höll upp den och såg var det strålade från stenen. Han slöt därav, att det var som Sigurd hade sagt. Det var ett märkligt instrument Sigurd var i besittning av, men om solstenen varit en primitiv kompass, t. ex. ett stycke magnetisk järnsten flytande på ett stycke trä i vatten, och Sigurd ungefärligen vetat klockslaget, hade det inte varit svårt för honom att säga var solen stod. Hur det kunnat stråla från stenen är en annan fråga, antagligen har sagoberättaren velat förse den med speciellt mystiska egenskaper för att göra historien bättre. (Vikingen, Nordbok 1975)

Little is known about the Vikings may have known about the compass. Only around 1300 does it show up in the description of past events. An enigmatic, navigational instruments, a sunstone, there are underlined in some stories. One of them tells that King Olav the Holy and chieftain Sigurd Syr was on board a ship and the weather was thick and it was snowing heavily. King Olav had to see if the sky was completely overcast. Then he asked Sigurd to say, where the sun had come, and he told him that, and then let the King take the Sun Stone and held it up and saw it was beamed from the stone. He closed hence, it was as Sigurd had said. It was a strange instrument Sigurd was in possession of, but if the Sun Stone was a primitive compass, for example. a piece of magnetic iron stone floating on a piece of wood in water, and Sigurd roughly knew the time, had it not been difficult for him to say where the sun was. How it could radiate from the stone is a different issue, probably the storyteller wanted to provide it with special mystical properties to make the story better. (Viking, Nordbok 1975)

Sigurd Syr ("suggan") fylkeskung i Ringerike, Norge, i början av 1000-talet, gift med Harald Grenskes änka Åsta och alltså styvfar till Olav Haraldsson, som han gjorde allt för att förhjälpa till makten. Heimskringla skildrar Sigurd Syr närmast som en klok storbonde: "Han bar blå kjortel och blå hosor, skor bundna vid benet, grå kappa och en grå vidhatt som skuggade för ansiktet /han var ute på åkern/ samt i handen en stav med silverholk och silverring i toppen. Han var en mycket driftig man, en som själv skötte sina bestyr och sörjde för gårdsbruket. Han var ingen praktälskande man och rätt fåordig, men han var den klokaste av de män som den tiden fanns i Norge och den rikaste på lösöre, fredlig och aldrig påträngande". Med Åsta blev Sigurd Syr far till den blivande konung Harald Hårdråde, som alltså var Olav Haraldssons halvbror.
