I källan står:

Sigurd Ring was King of Vestergøtland and Uppsala, and other areas of Sweden, such as Spare, Sjælland, and other parts of Denmark, Viken in Norway, Bohuslen, Østfold, Vestfold, parts of Telemark and Agder, etc. He struggled against his fathers half brother Harald Hildetann in a battle at Bråvollene by Bråviken near Norrkøping in Sweden. This battle is suppose have occurred 716. Harald Hildetann was killed by his wagonmaster Brune, as he thought he saw an image of Odin. Sigurd's wife was Alvhild from Alvheim in Tune, Østfold, the daughter of King Gandalv Alvgeirsson (born about 650). Gandalv was a grandson of king Alv, who was born about 580 and no doubt was the tenth king at Alvum who bore this name. In his old age, Sigurd became attracted to Alfsol, a beautiful daughter of Alf, one of his vassal kings. He asked for her hand, but her brothers refused to give their beautiful sister to such a "withered old man". Tehy thought it better that she should die, than marry Sigurd, so they killed her. When Sigurd heard this he he overcame Alfsol's brothers in battle but then committed suicide when he discovered she was already dead.

------
Fra SHM nr. 1/96. Sigurd Ring var konge av Vestergøtland, Uppsala og flere svenske kongedømmer, bl.a. Skåne, Sjælland, storparten av det øvrige Danmark, Viken i Norge, d.v.s. Bohuslen, Østfold, Vestfold, deler av Telemark og Agder, etc. Han kjempet mot sin fars halvbror Harald Hildetann i slaget på Bråvollene ved Bråviken nær Norrkøping i Sverige. Dette slaget er antatt å ha stått i år 716. Harald Hildetann ble felt av sin vognstyrer Brune, som skal ha vært Odin selv i dennes skikkelse. Sigurds hustru var Alvhils fra Alvheim i Tune, Østfold, datter av kong Gandalv Alvgeirsson (født ca 650). Gandalv var sønnesønn av kong Alv, som var født ca 580 og visstnok var den tiende konge på Alvum, som bar dette navnet.
