Sigurd stands as the legendary hero of the *Völsunga Saga*, celebrated as the "King of Warriors." His story gained wider recognition across medieval Europe through the *Nibelungenlied*, though the tale underwent significant changes in that retelling.
Whether Sigurd and Siegfried are actually the same person remains debated among scholars. What's even murkier is whether either of them actually slew the dragon depicted in the legends—fans and historians have long speculated that these might be two separate dragon-slaying tales that got blended together over time.
