Sigmund was a figure in Norse mythology, the son of Völsung, husband of Hjördís, and father of Sigurd.
Mythology
Possibly in the late 6th century, a being claiming to be the Norse god Odin, disguised as a beggar, plunged a Sword into a tree called Barnstokkr, stating that whomever was able to pull it free would receive it as a gift. Only the warrior Sigmund proved able to do so, and subsequently claimed the Sword as his own.[1]
According to legend, his son Sigurd would later on use his father´s sword to slay the dragon Fafnir.
Legacy
In 2012, Clay Kaczmarek included Johannes Gehrts' illustration of Sigmund approaching the sword in the tree in a set of puzzles he had hidden within the Animus for his successor, Desmond Miles to find. Desmond did so in September of that year,[2] uncovering Clay's message suggesting that the sword of Sigmund's was in fact a Sword of Eden.[1]
