Sigi
Sigi was the son of Odin. He had murdered another hunter and thrall named Bredi who out-performed him. He left the body in the snowdrift.
Sigi later became king of the Huns, and ruled in the kingdom called Hunland. He married and had a son named Rerir. As he grew old, Sigi made many enemies, including his brother-in-laws. His brother-in-laws and other enemies ambushed him and killed him. His son succeeded him to the throne and became king of Hunland.
In the prologue of Snorri Sturluson, Siggi was one of the three sons of Odin. Sigi's grandson, Volsung, was said to rule over what is now called France. The other sons of Odin were Veggdegg, who ruled over East Saxony, and whose descendant Hengest (Hengist) played an important role in Britain in the Welsh and Arthurian legends; Odin's other son, Beldegg, also called Baldr (Balder), ruled in Westphalia.
