About Sigurd "Fafnirsbane", {Ragnars Saga}

From Wikipedia:
Dette er ikke Sigurd Fåvnesbane som levde på 400-tallet.

"Forkorting av slektsrekker forekommer når man etter et antall generasjoner vil indikere opprinnelig opphav til en person uten å nevne hele slektsrekken (slektsrekken antas kjent fra andre steder), se bl.a. den feilaktige koblingen mellom Aslaug Sigurdsdatter og de antatte foreldrene Sigurd Fåvnesbane (400-tallet) og Brynhild. Det er her snakk [om] forkorting eller en annen og mye senere Sigurd. Persongalleriet i databasen [til Frian Årsnes] tilsier at det var Sigurd Tofnesbane/Sigurd Hofnisband (700-tallet) som var gift med Brynhild, datter av Budli Leinfinsson."

Frian Årsnes, side 290

Sigurd (Old Norse: Sigurðr [%CB%88si%C9%A3%CB%8Cur%C3%B0r]%29 or Siegfried (Middle High German: Sîvrit) is a legendary hero of Germanic heroic legend, who killed a dragon - known in some Old Norse sources as Fáfnir - and who was later murdered. It is possible he was inspired by one or more figures from the Frankish Merovingian dynasty, with Sigebert I being the most popular contender. Older scholarship sometimes connected him with Arminius, victor of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.[1] He may also have a purely mythological origin. Sigurd's story is first attested on a series of carvings, including runestones from Sweden and stone crosses from the British Isles, dating from the eleventh century.
