King Sigurd is to lead a Norwegian crusade in 1107 in support to the newly established crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.
At first it had been disputed among the two kings, Eystein and Sigurd, about who should lead the contingent and who should remain home, to rule the kingdom.
Sigurd had eventually been chosen, possible because he was a more adequate and experienced traveler.
The first Scandinavian king to participate in the Crusade, he leads a force to the Holy Land.
Sailing for the Holy Land in autumn 1107 with sixty ships, he leaves his elder brother Eystein to rule Norway.
