Stories from Swedish history / Anders Fryxell

Chapter 9,

About Bengt the teammate and Sigrid the beautiful. (NOTE! Skröna, confusion between Birger Jarl and his brother with this later name, Bengt Magnusson. Birger Jarl had been dead about 10 years when Bengt married Sigrid the second time).

Birger Earl's all brothers were famous men. His one brother, Eskil, was a lawman in Westergötland, and married a very distinguished qwinna from Norrge. His second brother, Karl, was bishop of Linköping; his sister, Magnhild, was married to Härwed Ulf or Trolle, a rather rich and powerful man *). The third brother was named Bengt, and was the teammate in Östergötland. He took very strong love for a noble maiden named Sigrid, which neither was either rich or noble, but so beautiful that she was generally called Sigrid the fair. Earl Birger would not hear of this, for he thought the maiden was too little for her kindred, though she was noble; but Bengt Lawman did not heed his brother's will out here, but married Sigrid, his unspoken.

When the Earl found this, she sent Bengt a coat, one half of which was made of precious golden cloth, but the other of coarse and thin wadmal. By this he meant the dissimilarity that existed between Bengts and Sigrid's genealogy, in this way also scaring Bengt to separate Sigrid from himself. But in this place, he allowed the wadmalt to fill with gold, pearls and precious stones, so that the wadmals half remained the same, if not more expensive, than the other, then sent the cloak back to the earl instead of another swar. Of this, the Earl was even more enraged and greeted back with the commandment, that he would orally speak to his brother about this matter, adding in his ifwer some severe threats, which the envoy also told Bengt.

A little afterwards the Earl lets saddle his horses and rides with great company to Ulfåsa, where Bengt lived, intending to put an end to this matter. As soon as Bengt saw the earl's journey from afar, he escaped to the woods and left Sigrid alone at home to meet the angry brother-in-law, after he had given her good advice, however, how she ought to behave there. So she adorned herself with her most expensive clothes and most expensive jewelry, and her beauty there seemed even greater. As the Earl rode into the yard, Sigrid the fair stepped out, negated him for word, and received him with all the honor and whispers. But the earl was so moved by her beauty that he forgot his cruelty, ran down quickly from his haste, and took Sigrid into his arms, saying, "If my brother had this undone, I would do it myself;" whereupon he was let into the house and evaded. But Bengt was brought back straight from the woods, and was then rejoiced and reconciled between the brothers instead of the enmity enmity.

But Bengt teamman and Sigrid the fair lived a long time together on Ulfåsa and left behind many sons and daughters.

• ) It is told that when Härwed Ulf was to bring this his bride home, some fighters emerged from the forest to fiercely abduct Magnhild, and had their captains disguised as a troll, so as to be able to frighten her guardians so much more easily. But Härwed did not let themselves be horrified, but assigned the troll a cut on the neck so hard that the head flew off, after which the other pre-stretched lupo went back to the forest, and Härwed was allowed to bring home his Magnhild. From that day on, Härwed changed his shield brand, which had previously been a running Ulf, and had this set a headless troll, called Trolle in st. f. Ulf, and descended from him the then infamous Trollestägt.

Sigrid den fagra, död 1289 och begravd i Skänninge dominikankloster, var gift med lagmannen i Östergötland, Bengt Magnusson (död omkring 1294).

Sigrid är känd för eftervärlden genom den romantiska senmedeltida sägnen om striden mellan Bengt lagman och Birger jarl, i vilken jarlen skall ha blivit avväpnad av Sigrids skönhet och vishet.

Berättelser ur swenska historien / Anders Fryxell

9 Kap.

Om Bengt lagman och Sigrid den fagra. (OBS! Skröna, förväxling mellan Birger Jarl och dennes broder med denne senare namne, Bengt Magnusson. Birger Jarl hade varit död ca. 10 år när Bengt gifte sig andra gången med Sigrid).

Birger jarls alla bröder woro berömliga man. Hans ena bror, Eskil, war lagman i Westergötland, och gift med en mycket förnämlig qwinna frän Norrge. Hans andra bror, Karl, war biskop i Linköping; hans syster, Magnhild, war gift med Härwed Ulf eller Trolle, en ganska rik och mägtig man*). Den tredje brodren het Bengt, och war lagman uti Östergötland. Han fattade mycket häftig kärlek till en adelig jungfru benämd Sigrid, hwilken wäl hwarken war af rik eller förnäm slägt, men sä skön, att hon allmänt kallades Sigrid den fagra. Birger jarl wille ej höra talas härom, ty han tyckte jungfrun wara alldeles för ringa för sin slägt, fastän hon war adelboren; men Bengt lagman aktade ej sin broders wil- ja härutinnan, utan gifte sig med Sigrid, honom oåtspord.

När jarlen förnam detta, sände hon till Bengt en kappa, hwars ena hälft war gjord af kostbart gyldene tyg, men den andra af groft och linga wadmal. Härmed åsyftade han den olikhet, som war mellan Bengts och Sigrids slägt, ämnande pä detta sätt också skrämma Bengt att skilja Sigrid ifrän sig. Men denne lät i deß ställe besätta wadmalet med gull, perlor och ädla stenar, så att wadmals-hälften blef lika, om ej mera dyrbar, än den andra, sändande sedan kappan så förändrad tillbaka till jarlen i stället för annat swar. Häröfwer uppretades jarlen än mera och helsade tillbaka med budet, att han wille mundteligen tala med sin bror om detta ärendet, tilläggande i sin ifwer någre swåra hotelser, som sändebudet äfwen berättade för Bengt.

Litet härefter läter jarlen sadla sina hästar och rider med stort sällskap till Ulfåsa, der Bengt bodde, ämnande göra slut pä denna saken. Så snart Bengt såg på afstånd jarlens färd, flydde han undan till skogs och lemnade Sigrid ensam hemma att taga mot den uppretade swågern, sedan han likwäl gifwit henne goda råd, huru hon borde derwid bete sig. Hon prydde sig alltsä med sina kostligaste kläder och dyrbaraste smycken, och tycktes hennes skönhet derigenorn ännu större. Som jarlen red in på gården steg Sigrid den fagra ut, neg för honom wördsamt och mottog honom med all ära och höfwiskhet. Men jarlen blef så rörd af hennes skönhet, att han glömde sin wrede, sprang hastigt ned af hasten, och tog Sigrid i famn, sägande: "Hade min broder detta ogjordt, så skulle jag sjelf göra det;" hwarpå han lät sig föras in i huset och undfägnas. Men Bengt hemtades straxt tillbaka frän skogen och blef då mellan bröderna fröjd och förlikning i stället för den fordna fiendskapen.

Men Bengt lagman och Sigrid den fagra lefde sedan förnöjda lång tid tillsammans pä Ulfåsa och lemnade efter sig många både söner och döttrar.

• ) Det berättäs, att, då Härwed Ulf skulle hemföra denna sin brud, framkommo ur skogen några kämpar för att wäldsamt bortföra Magnhild, och hade deras anförare förklädt sig till ett troll, för att kunna så mycket lättare skrämma hennes wäktare. Men Härwed lät sig ej förfäras deras utan tilldelade trollet ett hugg på halsen sä hårdt, att hufwudet flög af, hwarefter de andra försträckta lupo till skogs igen, och Härwed fick i ro hemföra sin Magnhild. Ifrän denna dag förändrade Härwed sitt sköldemärke, som förut warit en springande Ulf, och lät ditsätta ett hufwudlöst troll, kallande sig Trolle i st. f. Ulf, och härstammar från honom den sedan så beryktade Trollestägten.
