Magnus Sigurdsson
Magnus was put in Nidarholm Abbey on the island of Munkholmen in Trondheim Fjord, where he spent some time as a monk.The loyal guard Reidar Grjotgardsson lifted his king at the final battle, but a spear impales them both.There is a monument erected in memory of King Magnus the Blind at the Storedal farm in Skjeberg in Østfold county.The background for these conflicts were the unclear Norwegian succession laws, social conditions and the struggle between church and king.((Baglers and Birkebeiners did not exist before until about 30 years later, so this entry is not relevant to the subject matter, as it was a completely different war, in the same historical series of conflicts))
