A lot of you may know Sigtryggr from the show the last Kingdom. Where he was introduced to us as a savage Viking leader who later befriended the shows protagonist Uhtred. The Real Sigtryggr however, had much more of a deep rooted history being the son of the legendary Ivar the boneless. He was a member of the Ui Imair which was a royal Norse-Gael dynasty which ruled much of the Irish Sea region, the Kingdom of Dublin, the western coast of Scotland and some parts of Northern England from the mid 9th century.
