Siggeir is the king of Gautland (i.e. Götaland/Geatland, but in some translations also rendered as Gothland), in the Völsunga saga. In Skáldskaparmál he is given as a Sikling and a relative of Sigar who killed the hero Hagbard. Hversu Noregr byggðist specifies that the last Sigar was Siggeir's nephew.
According to the Völsunga saga, Siggeir married Signy, the sister of Sigmund and the daughter of king Völsung. At the banquet Odin appears in disguise wearing a cape and a hood and sticks a sword in the tree Branstock. Then he said that whoever managed to pull the sword out could keep it. Siggeir and everyone else tried but only Sigmund succeeded. Siggeir generously offered three times the sword's value, but Sigmund mockingly refused. Siggeir was offended and went home the next day thinking of revenge.
Siggeir invites Sigmund, his father Völsung and Sigmund's nine brothers to a visit in Gautland to see the newlyweds three months later. When the Völsung clan had arrived they were attacked by the Gauts (Geats) and king Völsung was killed and his sons captured.
"What is it that you want?" I get that a lot in my
travels.
I look up at the sky, and the answer is, "Only my
heart."
The really important words aren't so easy to say.
The place that the light points to, I run towards it.
If it's really something you want so much that it makes
you cry inside.
Just keep at it and for sure you'll take it someday.
The white clouds float by, heading towards the horizon.

I may have cleared the first step, but that's not the
end of it.
There'll be endless more starting today, maybe even
some meet with tears.
If you get tired after working your hardest, you can do
something besides work hard.
The seemingly empty, sleepy night, will come to life.
If you really want to get there, giving up sometimes is
fine.
Even the tears that are welling up, you'll shake it
someday.
Because there are things we'll never give up, we can be
steadfast. Thank you my dream.
Somewhere along the infinity of time, we'll find
happiness.
If it's really something you want, so much that it
makes you cry inside.
Just keep at it and for sure you'll take it someday.
