BIOGRAPHY
Siward was said to be a giant in stature as well as immensely strong, blue-eyed, very fair and with a light beard. A legend tells that he sailed with fifty men from 'Danemark', arriving at the Shetland Islands where he encountered and slew a dragon (or serpent). He next landed in Northumbria. From there he went overland to London and was received by Edward the Confessor, the king of England, who persuaded him to help defend the kingdom.

The legend continues that as he was leaving the court one day, he was confronted on a bridge by Tostig, Earl of Huntington, who threw dirt at him as an insult. Siward took no offence at the time, but when he met Tostig on his return over the same bridge, he decapitated Tostig and carried his head back to the king. Impressed, the king awarded Siward the Earldom of Huntington in addition to Northumbria. Siward governed the territory of Northumbria which extended from the Humber River to the Tweed River on the border of Scotland, and he was greatly respected and loved by the Northumbrians who were chiefly of Danish extraction.

Prior to his death, Siward supported Malcolm, the rightful heir of Scotland, against King Macbeth. Siward's first son Osberne was killed in battle in 1054, some say by the hand of Macbeth.
