He was the son of the hero Sigmund.
Sigurd was also known by the name Siegfried.
A.D. 436 is the time of Sigurd legend as the Dragon Slayer.
Sigurd was a Volsung in every way, he had bright eyes a "kingly" face, great wisdom, a war-man's skill, eloquent speech, he was strong, fearless, and had all the pride of a Volsung.
He had the task of slaying the mighty dragon Fafner when he was still young, which his step-father Reign ordered him to do.
It is said he had cut out the dragons heart with his sword named Gram, and Reign drank its heart-blood.
In the end Reign had been trying to kill Sigurd, but instead Reign died.
