Sigurd was killed by Eirik Bloodaxe's son, king Harald Greyhide as part of Harald's effort to reunite all of Norway under his rule. This killing was later avenged by Sigurd's son, Håkon Sigurdsson. Sigurd had Kormákr Ögmundarson as a court poet. Fragments of Kormákr's lay on the earl, Sigurðardrápa, are preserved in Skáldskaparmál and in Heimskringla.
