[edit] Arigato1's and Huscarl's edits

The lead should only contain information that is not contradicted by the article itself. Some sources say that Sigurd Ring's father was born in Russia, while the Danish Gesta Danorum says that his father was the king of Sweden. This makes it peculiar to call him a "Danish king of Denmark" in the intro. Moreover it is equally unreasonable to call him the "paternal nephew" of Harald Hildetand (which he was in some sources) when Gesta Danorum says that Sigurd was Harald's maternal nephew.--Holger the Dane 12:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Most sources says he was the son of Randvar --Huskarl 15:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

You mean that Sigurd was the "grand-son of Randver", I presume. Randver was born in Russia and he was the son of the king of Russia (in Sögubrot and the Lay of Hyndla). If you contemplate this you may understand how your "Danish king of the Danes" really sounds.--Holger the Dane 15:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I just reverted it back mister. I don't know were you get your Rusia and grandson from?

Saxo also write that Harald Hildetand gave the boy guardians, and put him over his father's kingdom (After Ingjald should had died).

It just seems weird that a boy should be king of Svealand. --Huskarl 15:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

You wrote: "I don't know were you get your Rusia and grandson from". It appears that there no use discussing it with you since I told you where in my last post. If you want me to take you seriously you should ask a more established user to support you, e.g. User:Valentinian, User:Carewolf or User:Michael riber jorgensen.--Holger the Dane 15:29, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

ok, it also seems like you have your own pov in how to write this article when looking at your edits. And next time please use the function "Show preview" before posting your comments. --Huskarl 15:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

You showed in your next to last post that you do not listen to facts. There was still the childish "Danish king of the Danes" as usual. You are just as dedicated to sprinkling "Danish" all over Wikipedia as the multi-blocked Arigato1 was.--Holger the Dane 15:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] House of Munsö

I had removed Category:House of Munsö. Lars O. Lagerquist wrote in Sveriges regenter (1996) that Björn Ironside (who Lagerquist does not accept as historical) was according to the sagas the först one of a new dynasty, and that according to 18th-century antiquarians Björn was buried in the Munsö mound. Sigurd is supposed to have been earlier than Björn Ironside. He was not a member of Björn's new dynasty. That is why I remove the category. Please do not put it back in unless you have a source at least as good as Lagerquist. /Pieter Kuiper 18:04, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
