| Notes |
- According to Hrólfs saga kraka ok kappa hans, Sigríðr was the mother of Helgi and Hróarr. She died when her sons set fire to their father's old hall in order to kill their usurping uncle Frode, as she would not leave the building.
Research Notes
Hrólfs saga kraka ok kappa hans does not delve into what relationship Sigríðr might have had with king Frode, nor does it explicitly state that she was married to Halfdan; it only states that she was the mother of Halfdan's sons and remained living in the hall after Frode took it.
In other sagas, Halvdan was killed by his brother Ingjald who then married his widow, who is unnamed, and had sons with her.
Sigrid can be found in many online family trees as Sigris/Sigrid Aunsdotter, the daughter of Aun Jorundsson, but there is no foundation for this relationship or patronymic.
