  Sigurd Hjort het en konge på Ringerike, han var større ogsterkere enn noen annen mann, vakrere var han også enn alleandre. Fa rhans var Helge den kvasse, og mor hans var Åslaug,datter til Sigurd Orm-i-øye, Ragnar Lodbroks sønn. De sier atda han var 1 2år gammel, drepte han i enekamp Hildebrand berserkog 11 mann a vsamme slag, han gjorde mange andre karsstykker, ogdet er en lang saga om ham. Han hadde to barn; Ragnhild hetdatteren, en ualminnelig gjev og vakker kvinne, hun var i20-årsalderen dengang ,og broren hennes, Guttorm, varhalvvoksen. Om hvordan Sigurd døde, er det fortalt slik: Hanred alene ut i ville skogen som han brukte, han jagde store ogfarlige dyr, det hadde han lagt se getter og gjorde det ofte. Dahan hadde ridd langt av sted, ko mhan fram i en rydning et stedbort imot Hadeland, der kom Hak eberserk mot ham med 30 mann, desloss og der falt Sigurd Hjor tog 12 av Hakes menn, og han selvmistet en arm og fikk tre andr esår. Etterpå red Hake tilSigurds gård og tok Ragnhild, datte rhans, og Guttorm hennesbror; han førte dem bort med seg t to kmye gull og sølv og mangedyre saker og hadde med seg hjem ti lHadeland, der hadde hanstore gårder. Så lot han stelle til gjestebud og tenkte å holdebryllup med Ragnhild, men det dro ut, for sårene hans ble verre.Hake Haldingberserk lå til sengs av sårene hele høsten og førstedel av vinteren. Sigurd Hjort was aking in Ringerike. He was bigger andstronge r than any man. Hewas also more hansome than mostothers. Hi s father was Helgethe bright, and his mother,Åslaug, daughter o f SigurdSnake-in-eye, son of Ragnar Lodbrok.They say that whe n he was12 years old, he singlehandedly killedHildebrand berser k and 11men of the same kind. He performedmany other manly dee ds, andthe story of him is long. He hadtwo children: the daug hter,Ragnhild, an extraordinarilybeautiful woman, she was in he rtwenties at the time, and herbrother, Guttorm, was in his teens. About how Sigurd died, thisis said: He rode alone into th ewild forest as he used to,chasing large and dangerous animals ,something he liked to doand did often. When he had ridden far ,he reached a clearingsome place near Hadeland, and Hake berser kcame towards him with30 men. They fought, and there fell Sigurd Hjort and 12 ofHake's men. And Hake himself lost an arm an dhad three otherwounds. Afterwards he rode to Sigurd's farm an dtook Ragnhild,his daughter, and Guttorm, her brother, away an dlooted a lotof gold and silver and many expensive things and took them hometo Hadeland, where he had large farms. Then he threw a party andwanted to marry Ragnhild, but it was put off, as his wounds gotworse. Hake Haldingberserk's wounds kept him in bed the wholefall and the first part of winter.
