Sigyn’s Family Tree

About Sigyn →

Family

• Loki(spouse),Narfi(child),Vali Lokason(child)— Marriage

  Loki and Sigyn are husband and wife. Their sons Váli Lokason and Narfi met tragic ends when the gods punished Loki for Baldr's death — Váli Lokason was turned into a wolf who killed Narfi, whose entrails bound Loki.

  ⚠ Gylfaginning 50 names the sons as Váli and Nari (or Narfi), while the Lokasenna prose names them Narfi and Váli. Manuscript variants create confusion over whether Narfi and Nari are two names for one son or two separate figures.
