Guttorm Sigurdsson was king of Norway in 1204. He was set up by the Birkebein faction to succeed Haakon III, in opposition to Bagler who set up Erling Steinvegg as their pretender. Guttorm died soon, after which his party of Birkebeins chose Inge Baardson as their next claimant.
The civil wars period of Norwegian history lasted from 1130 to 1217. During this period there were several interlocked conflicts of varying scale and intensity. The background for these conflicts were the unclear Norwegian succession laws, social conditions and the struggle between Church and King. There were then two main parties, firstly known by varying names or no names at all, but finally condensed into parties of Bagler and Birkebeiner. The rallying point regularly was a royal son, who was set up as the head figure of the party in question, to oppose the rule of king from the contesting party.
