Sichelm of Norway

Sichelin

King of Norway and grandfather of Lot in Geoffrey’s Historia.

When he died, he left his kingdom to his grandson, but a lord named Riculf seized it, prompting Arthur to conquer Norway and restore it to Lot.

In De Ortu Waluuanii, Sichelm is Lot’s uncle rather than his grandfather. Having been conquered by Uther Pendragon, Sichelm was forced to send Lot to Uther’s court for rearing.
