Sigurd Haraldsson (Old Norse: Sigurðr Haraldsson; 1133 – 10 June 1155), or Sigurd II, also called Sigurd Munn,[1] was king of Norway from 1136 to 1155. He was son of Harald IV Gille, king of Norway and his mistress Thora Guttormsdotter (Þóra Guthormsdóttir). He served as co-ruler with his half-brothers, Inge Haraldsson and Eystein II Haraldsson. His epithet Munn means "the Mouth" in Old Norse. He was killed in the power-struggle against his brother, Inge, in an early stage of the civil war era in Norway.[2]
