Sigurd Erlingsson Ribbung

Rebellion King. Parents: Bagler King Erling Magnusson Steinvegg (death 1207), mother's name is not known. According to the bagler tradition, the grandson of King Magnus 5 Erlingsson (1156–84).

Sigurd Erlingsson was made king of the ribs. had its origins in the bagler party that had previously supported his father, King Erling. He proved to be a capable army commander, but died before he could benefit more politically from his military victories. The name Ribbung is related to the Northern Ribbaldi , which means 'wild governing' or 'violent man' and comes from the Latin ribaldus .

The Ribbung uprising began in the winter of 1219–20 with Sigurd Erlingsson as the king's subject. Already in the summer of 1220, the Viken lords had to ask King Håkon and Earl Skule for help. In the years that followed, the ribs settled over large parts of the eastern countryside, and King Sigurd took a seat on Frognøya in the Tyrifjord. In the Oppland, only the birch bones of Hedmark were kept, and King Håkon Håkonsson saw himself obliged to monitor the entire Trøndelag.

In 1223, a settlement was reached between Sigurd and Håkon, and Sigurd attended the national meeting in Bergen. When he failed to meet his demands, he raised the rebel fan base again in 1224. Over the next two years, the ribbons expanded far and wide in Eastern Norway. Håkon was completely maneuvered, and his recent campaign against Sigurd illustrates how unsuccessful attempts to weaken the power of the ribs in Eastern Norway were. After several of the king's troops were defeated, Håkon gathered his army at Hadeland. There were now "no more than 360 men left of the 1800 who had followed him into the country". The birch bones pulled down in the Viken.

Sigurd Ribbung fulgte en strategi som innebar at birkebeinerne ikke ble gitt muligheten til å benytte sin overlegne ressurstilgang og større styrker i et hovedslag. I stedet angrep han Håkons representanter ute i distriktene med mindre manøvrerbare sveitavdelinger tilpasset innlandets topografi. Det var Sigurd som hadde initiativet i krigen. Birkebeinerne hadde sjelden oversikt over ribbungene som “fór svært spredt omkring og dukket opp hist og her”. Sigurd og hans menn “var godt kjent oppe i dalene” og gjennomførte konsekvent prinsippet om selv å velge tid og sted for konfrontasjonene. Birkebeinerne måtte hele tiden svare på utfordringene fra ribbungene og klarte ikke å styre krigen slik at de fikk utnyttet sine fordeler.

In 1225, Skule Earl came from the north to fight the ribs with King Håkon. At Hamar, however, Sigurd asked the Earl for talks. Shortly after the meeting, Sigurd Håkon offered conciliation and division of the land, and Skule returned some time later north with his army without word of mouth to Håkon. Later in the year it was not only Earl Skule who called for a settlement, but Archbishop Peter wanted such a solution between the kings. The church prince even called a curse on anyone who opened a fight before the settlement. The split in the birch bones was obvious.

In the spring of 1226, the ribs had ships in all waters and men in all the seas, "for there were no birch bones in the Oppland." King Sigurd then summoned the whole army and went out into the bay. Then the birch bones did not dare to be there "for fear of Sigurd; they prepared to go north to the king, and almost everyone left. " Sigurd took his seat in Oslo.

Sigurd Ribbung established an agreement with the earl of the birch bones to which the country's archbishop joined. In the spring of 1226, the rebellion of the ribs had reached such strength and spread that it posed a clear threat to national unity and monarchy in Norway. Sigurd mastered both the political game and the military challenges, and he is thus one of the most successful field lords of the Norwegian Middle Ages.

In the summer of 1226, however, King Sigurd died. He was succeeded as the leader of the ribs by Knut Håkonsson , son of Håkon Galen. This had major consequences for the further development, because Knut was unable to follow up his predecessor's success. Already in the winter of 1226–27, leading ribbons concluded a settlement with King Håkon, and the following summer Knut dropped the royal name.
